Description

What if the animals were the ones who ran the zoo?

Presumably, this wild government would be built upon the support of fellow creatures and fueled by the fame, attention, and prestige of wide-eyed visitors. Naturally, the most aspirational beasts would lobby for a position in the star exhibit, and the lead star would be elected Zoo Mascot.

In order to join the star exhibit, each species must campaign its way up the hierarchy of enclosures with the majority support of animal voters. And the lead star will be the species that has earned the most laurels from both raving fans and jealous rivals along the way.

  • Position your animals within key exhibits at the zoo

  • Advance up the zoo hierarchy through crafty politicking

  • Negotiate and trade with rival animals for votes and favors

  • Reach the star exhibit and earn the most laurels to win

  • Featuring 7 animal factions with unique abilities

• Bribery• Hidden Victory Points• Negotiation• Once-Per-Game Abilities• Point to Point Movement• Trading• Variable Player Powers• Victory Points as a Resource• Voting

It isn't easy being a zoo animal! The enclosures are far too small for their needs, the daily routine is boring, and the visitors are completely obnoxious, frequently throwing their trash into the enclosures. After an unfortunate incident, the zoo plans...
