It is the late 1950s. You are a daring tugboat captain, exploring the mysterious depths of southern Africa. Be the first to sail your vessel from Victoria Falls along the famous Zambezi river to Lake Kariba. On the way you must avoid crocodiles, which cause you to burn valuable fuel units, and rocks, which result in your crew members being lost overboard and may delay your tugboat's progress.
Zambezi: The Expedition Game is best played as a full Expedition Game where aspects other than racing are taken into account, such as picking up commodities enroute and making documentaries about the wildlife of the Zambezi Delta.
Alternatively, for a shorter game, it can be played as a straightforward River Race, where nothing is collected along the way. The first boat to reach Lake Kariba is the winner!
