Description

Zooloretto: Familiarisation Area is a fantastic expansion to the popular Zooloretto game, designed by Michael Schacht and first introduced in 2011. This addition brings a new level of strategy to the game, allowing 2 to 5 players to navigate their zoos with more flexibility. The Familiarisation Area acts as a temporary holding pen for animals that don't quite fit into your zoo just yet. When you take delivery of a new animal but can't find a suitable spot for it, you can place it in the Familiarisation Area, giving you a safety net and more options for future moves. In a typical 45-minute game, you'll find yourself juggling different animals and trying to create the best possible zoo. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, but the game still offers plenty of depth and complexity. The Familiarisation Area becomes a key part of your strategy, as you can transfer animals in and out of it using certain actions. This adds a whole new layer of planning and decision-making to the game, as you weigh up the benefits of holding onto an animal versus transferring it to your zoo. With the ability to hold only one animal, you'll need to think carefully about which one to keep in the Familiarisation Area. As the game comes to a close, any animals still in the Familiarisation Area won't score you any points or penalize you, so it's a risk-free way to hang onto an animal that you think will be valuable later. The Familiarisation Area is a clever and useful addition to the Zooloretto game, and it's also available as part of the Zooloretto: Goodie-Box. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this expansion is a great way to mix things up and add some fresh excitement to your games. With its simple rules and engaging gameplay, Zooloretto: Familiarisation Area is a great way to spend 45 minutes with friends and family, and it's sure to become a new favorite.
