Description
Zooloretto: Octopus is an exciting expansion that brings a new level of strategy to the classic Zooloretto and Aquaretto games. Released in 2010, this expansion is designed for 2 to 5 players and can be learned quickly, thanks to its easy-to-understand rules. The gameplay is straightforward, but the addition of the Octopus enclosure adds a fun twist. When a player fills their 6-space enclosure or places the sixth tile in one of their basins, they get to take the Octopus enclosure as a bonus, earning them 4 coins and the chance to predict who will win the game. The Octopus expansion introduces a new layer of excitement to the game, as players must think carefully about when to take the Octopus enclosure and make their prediction. If they correctly guess who will have the most points at the end of the game, nothing happens, but if they're wrong, they'll have to pay back 2 coins. The player who takes the Octopus enclosure also gets to keep it until the end of the game, but they won't be able to place any tiles in it. This adds a new level of strategy to the game, as players must balance the benefits of taking the Octopus enclosure with the potential risks. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Zooloretto: Octopus is a great way to add some variety to your game nights. The Octopus expansion is a great addition to the Zooloretto and Aquaretto games, and its simple rules make it easy to integrate into your existing gameplay. Designed by Michael Schacht, this expansion is a fun and challenging way to experience the game in a new way. Whether you're a fan of animal-themed games or just looking for a new challenge, Zooloretto: Octopus is a great choice. With its unique blend of set collection and tile placement mechanics, this expansion is sure to delight players of all ages. So why not dive in and give it a try – you never know who will come out on top.
