Special cases:
Animals and plants must be transported -- each weighs 2 units.
Tusks must be transported to Europe -- weigh 7 units.
These items are not lost to disasters.
The same animal or plant can only be published once.
Easily Missed Rules: Disasters Each time people die in disaster, roll dice. On a "12", explorer dies instead. If named person is not present, happens on "11" or "12".
Once an explorer has lost the respect of the askaris by acting as a bearer, can only regain it by killing an animal or defeating natives.
Mapping Desert and jungle can never be adjacent; change to veldt instead.
Caches Recovered caches have disappeared on a roll of "1".
Unowned caches can only be found if hex is published.
Natives Each time trading with natives, roll die. On a "1", explorer dies, poisoned by a witch doctor.
Missionaries, doctors and ethnologists must release captives and may not loot.
Rations Rations from natives are actually not perishable.
Animals may be shot to provide 10 rations.
Specialties The journalist receives VP if in Africa when any explorer fights a tribe.
