2022 · Card Game

Zoo King

Aspiring zoo tycoons compete to build the best zoos by acquiring animal, staff, and facility cards, aiming to win awards revealed throughout the game. Each turn, players reveal an event card and perform two actions, such as purchasing cards from the market, drawing and buying cards, buying from a discard pile at a discount, or exchanging animals. Staff and facilities provide discounts and other benefits, while pairs of animals earn bonuses. Awards recognize achievements such as collecting the most felines, holding the most money, or having the highest star value. The first player to collect three awards, or four in a two-player game, wins.
