Down In The Congo

52 Comments

We stop in at one of the tabletops which is running the game from Studio Tomahawk, CONGO.

This game sees your explorers heading out into the dark heart of Africa and running into Tribesmen and more.

The game seems to feature some nifty mechanics so it would be cool to know whether you folks have checked this one out in the past?

Is this anything to do with Michael Crichton’s Congo?
That was one cool book, especially with the remote sentry guns.

@apeman The one at the front – the anthropomorphic snake totem statue is from Monolith Designs:
http://www.monolithdesigns.co.uk/africa.htm The scale is stated as 25mm but I use them very happily with my 28mm Darkest Africa collection. Be prepared for a bit of a wait if you order something as this is a part time concern but it is well worth it.

Dammit! Now I can’t get “Umbongo, Umbongo, they drink it in the Congo” out of my head! Come to think about it……is that PC?

No my cup of tea. Sci-fi or fantasy, but not colonial imperialism.
