Description

Tombo is an educational game about the lives of street children in South American countries published by the French branch of the UNICEF.

Each of the player controls a street kid in a South American city trying to buy basic commodities (such as food or shoes) before the end of the day.

Each player roll the dice in turn and move their character on the map (the die roll result is the maximum number of spaces the character can move). Characters can then do one of the jobs printed on the space they're on (sell newspapers or empenadas, shine shoes...) in order to collect money. The amount of money earned varies according to the time of the day. Character who haven't earned enough money can try to steal one or more of their needed items, but risk losing all their items.

The game can be played either competitively or cooperatively (each player being part of a gang), or solitaire.
