Kalahari Kingpins

Share:

The Kalahari Kingpins is another round of South Africa Boss Fights that plays out exactly like the Lords of Lesotho and the Swazi Smackdown. There shouldn’t be a learning curve but if you need a refresher, go here. We get 11 days to complete 20 Boss Fights and it’s almost impossible to do without the aid of scripts. Thankfully the Boss Fighter II by Team Spockholm will take care of it. You can use stamina or ammo and your stamina requirements and the combos are different for all players. This is what our mystery special event item called the Chopper Builder is for [1]. Six months ago we did predict something like this would happen and I’m surprised it took them so long [1]. Since Zynga as a whole can’t seem to come up with anything new it’s rather fitting.  The last time around they at least created new bosses but these guys are from Las Vegas, Manhattan, Brazil and wait for it…Swazi Smackdown! Felicity Lee is a morph of Babe Brasher and Serenity Lee. UPDATE: The FAQ has been posted and is shown below. The original can be found here.
