Get ready to embark on a wild adventure with New Zealand Menagerie, a fun and educational board game designed by Pat Darlington and Dan Nicholls. In this game, you'll take on the role of a nature reserve manager, tasked with creating a thriving ecosystem for New Zealand's diverse wildlife.

The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to players of all ages. As you play, you'll need to balance the growth of your animal populations with the threats that come with them, such as fires, pollution, and feral animals. These threats can be mitigated with protective measures, adding a strategic layer to the game. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, New Zealand Menagerie is a great option for a quick game night with friends or family, and can be enjoyed by 2 to 4 players.
