Congo - scénario 2 , King of the Apes

    Here is my first Congo game. I played scenario 2 King of the Apes. An explorer spotted a giant gorilla in the forest, an expedition is mounted by a journalist to confirm the existence of the animal. But a tribe worships the great ape Kong and protects its lair ... 
 
I played with forest  tribe,and  my opponentwith  the white men expedition.
 
    Kong is deployed near his tree (his lair) and he does not leave his area around the tree  (distance M from the tree), the journalist's expedition must capture Kong (meaning defeating him in melee), but if the latter succumbs to gunfire, it is a forest tribe victory.
 


 
The arrival of the different protagonists (each faction is divided into two arriving by the opposite corners diagonally)
 
 Forest tribe: group of hunters and group of cannibals with shaman:


L'expédition: groupe journaliste + archers, groupe de supplétifs noir+ porteur, groupe d'aventurières:


L'expédition: groupe exploratrice+soldats, groupe ruga-ruga, groupe éclaireur:

 
The ruga-rugas and the soldiers exchange shots and arrows with the hunters and the pygmies:
 


First melee attempt against Kong, big defeat and retreat of the explorer and her soldiers:

 

The cannibals and the witchdoctor try to intercept the journalist and her guards:




Under the eye of his divinity, the chief exterminates the reckless explorer who dared to violate the sacred territory:



The journalist get a scoop with the vision of the giant gorilla and approaches Kong,  pursued by the shaman and the cannibals starved by this exotic white game:






The witchdoctor tries to summon the spirits of the forest but they do not appreciate it and he dies struck by lightning

 
Kong must flee from the journalist, a small weakness during its fight (see the dice score):




The chief arrives to the rescue to eliminate the reckless journalist:


The slackers of the game, the adventurers have spent too much time watching the handsome soldiers by their side :
 
 
 
The game ends in the last turn, without any of the conditions for immediate victory being met. When counting the points, the forest tribe wins:


For fun:
