Ani’Zoom

Disney nature 

Animals on pictures must be spotted; if you are first to collect the necessary number of cards, you win.

Six boards are laid out; they show animals in irregularly shaped bubbles on various backgrounds. Cards showing those animals or baby animals or animal details or animal silhouettes - on the Night Cards - are shuffled and stacked face down, a small source of light - a pocket torch or something similar, is prepared. Players take turns as game master of the round.

The game master turns over the top card of the stack: If the card shows an animal, all players search the boards on display for this animal. Whoever puts his pawn on the correct animal first, receives the card.

When the card shows a baby animal, players need to find the adult animal on the boards; again, the card goes to whoever put his pawn on the correct animal first.

An AniZoom cards only shows the detail of an animal, you now need to spot the animal only on basis of this detail to receive the card. When the revealed card is a Night Card, the game master lights it up for ca. 20 seconds without looking at the card, and then puts the card into the Viewing Box. Then the game master looks into the Box for a few seconds, challenges another player to a duel, hands him the Viewing Box and closes his eyes. Now the challenged player looks into the Viewing box, and then gives a signal - both players now search the boards for the wanted animal, based on the silhouette in the Box.

This game offers very nice challenges, using breath-taking animal images and standard mechanisms; taking a good look and a little knowledge is necessary for baby and detail cards.
