Description

In 5x5 Zoo, you get to be the architect of your very own zoo, creating a unique 5x5 grid filled with all sorts of animals. With six types of animals on 1x1 tiles and a dozen more on larger tiles, the possibilities are endless. You'll use a worker-placement system to acquire the tiles, guest cubes, special action cards, and other goodies you need to make your zoo the best it can be. But it's not just about collecting cool animals - you also need to think about the guests who will be visiting your zoo. There are six colors of guests, each with their own preferences, and you'll need to place the right animals in the right spots to keep them happy. As you place your animal tiles on the board, you'll need to think strategically about how to create a zoo that's easy for your guests to navigate. Some tiles have walls that need to be matched up with other tiles, and you'll need to use doors and other special items to help your guests get where they want to go. It's a fun and challenging puzzle to solve, and the game is over all too soon - after just three rounds, it's time to tally up your scores and see who's created the best zoo of all. With simple rules and a playtime of just 45 minutes, 5x5 Zoo is a game that's easy to learn and fun to play, whether you're playing solo or with up to three friends. The game was designed by Hisashi Hayashi and published in 2020, and it's a great example of how a clever game design can create a fun and engaging experience. With its unique blend of tile placement, worker placement, and puzzle-solving, 5x5 Zoo is a game that will keep you coming back for more. So why not give it a try and see what kind of zoo you can create? With its easy-to-learn rules and short playtime, it's a great choice for families, casual gamers, and anyone looking for a fun and challenging puzzle to solve.
