Zooloretto mini

Meerkat, giraffe or IMPALA

You own a zoo and try to fill the enclosures with animals and to beautify them with landscape tiles to score points. Spare animals must be placed in the barn and deduct points from your score at the end.

Animal and landscape tiles are shuffled face down into a common pile, the offspring animals are placed open-faced. For each player you place a transport wagon on the table, the number of available animals is adjusted to the number of players and you also prepare an end-of-game stack of tiles.

You play in rounds: Each player must either place a tile onto a wagon or take any wagon and pass for the round. To place a tile you draw one from the bag and put it on any of the wagons. If you take a wagon you must place the animals on it in your zoo, following detailed rules. If two animals of a kind are together in an enclosure they produce offspring. If you fill the last spot in an enclosure, you have a bonus action. When all players have taken a lorry, a new round starts. When the first tile of the end-of-game stack is turned up, the round is finished and then the game is scored. Each enclosure scores you points depending on the kind animals in it, each landscape scores you 2 points. Animal or landscape tiles that you had to place in the bard reduce your score by 2 points for each tile.

Zooloretto mini is a simplified version of Zooloretto. The money transactions have been left out, as have been the visitors and the zoo expansions. This short version plays simpler and more clearly laid out, it is a fantastic fast family game and a good entry game into the Zooloretto Universe.
