Black Elephant
Published 2004
This ‘heavyweight’ strategy game for two players was invented by Frank Czarnetzki, better known for illustrating the Cwali games Logistico and Subulata under the name of Czarne. A herd of 10 working elephants is hard to keep in check. Their job is to collect tree trunks, and the need to be carefully moved over the working area to accomplish this. To keep rival elephants from snatching trunks out from under their trunk or sending elephants off on the wrong path, two elephants have a special designation: Black Elephants, which have the ability to block spaces and can also capture rival elephants.
