Description

Experience the nostalgia of visiting the zoo and the adventure of building your own. In this strategic family card game, players take turns building their own zoos by drafting from a diverse array of animal, staff, and facility cards. Players must manage the ups and downs of zoo ownership and collect the best sets of animals in order to win the most awards for their zoo. The player that wins the required number of awards first,—like Most Prestigious Zoo, Most Diverse, Big Cat King, and many more—is the victor.
