PLAYED FOR YOU

ZOOLORETTO

LÖWENEDITION

In its sixth year the Game of the Year 2007 is given a new edition with additional components: According to players wishes Lions are added to the zoo. The other animals are Flamingo, Camel, Leopard, Elephant, Panda, Chimpanzee, Zebra and Kangaroo, Lions replace any of those.

The basic rules of the game stay in play:

You own your own zoo and score points for visitors if you collect the best animals and invest in expansions for your zoo. The game is played in rounds. You must either place a tile onto a transport cart or take a transport cart and pass for the round or implement a money action. If you take a cart you must place the tiles on it into enclosures following stringent rules. Money actions are refurbishment, buying or discarding a tile or expansion of the zoo. When the first tile of the final stack is turned up, the round is finished and the game scored. Full enclosures earn you the high score. If one tile is missing you score the lower number. If more are missing you score one point per animal if there is a vending stall. Vending stalls earn you 2 points for each kind of animal, but score -2 when they are placed in the barn. Each kind of animal in the barn also incurs a score of -2.

There is also a version for two players, in which each player holds two upgrade boards which are kept face-down next to the zoo board; three kinds of animals are removed, the lion can be introduced, too. You can only take a cart in which a minimum of one open tile is present.

Zooloretto is still a fantastic family game, with enough tactic and allure for experienced players, and especially well-done as regards to design and components.
