Description

Brand New Zoo is a fun and interactive game where you get to build your dream zoo from scratch. As a roll and write game, it's all about using the results of shared dice rolls to create the best zoo possible. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you can dive right in and start playing with friends or even on your own. The game is designed for 1 to 100 players, so whether you're looking for a solo adventure or a party game, Brand New Zoo has got you covered. On each turn, two dice are rolled and all players use the results to draw enclosures, hire zoo keepers, or acquire animals. The twist is that each animal has its own scoring conditions or point values, so you'll need to think strategically about how to build your zoo. If doubles are rolled, you can even charge admission to earn extra points. With simultaneous action selection and a playtime of just 20 to 40 minutes, Brand New Zoo is a fast-paced and exciting game that's perfect for a quick gaming session. Designed by Matt Antonich and published in 2022, this game is a great addition to any game collection, and its modular expansion system means you can mix and match expansions to keep the game fresh and exciting.
