Counting Animals at the Zoo

Very different animals live in Number Zoo: Rhinoceroses, parrots, elephants, kangaroos and many more; zoo keeper Fred knows them all and transports them with his little train to their playing meadow and back again, always carefully counting them, because none of them must get lost.

Game #1 is called Mit dem Zooexpress nach Hause: All animals must be back in their compounds by evening, you use five or ten kinds of animals. You draw animal tiles and drop them into the playing meadow. When this results in visible animals you count them and place them into the corresponding wagon. When the animals are placed into the correct wagon, they go to the zoo and you move your marker one step. If you deliver the last animal of a kind you get an extra step.

In game #2 – Alles einsteigen, bitte –eight kinds of animals are stacked separately; in your turn you take a stack and consider which two wagons will take this number of animals exactly; if you choose correctly you take the animals to the zoo and all players move one step. If you are wrong you hand the stack to the next player.

Game 3#- Wer hat hier alles Platz?: A thunderstorm is threatening and Fred must take as many animals as possible to the compounds with one tour. 20 animals are chosen at random and the wagons are stacked from low to high. Then you drop all 20 animals into the meadow and guess if as many or more or less animals are visible than there are places in the top wagon. If you guess correctly you get animal tiles.

Yet another game in fantastic Haba quality with lots of fun and also educational values, learning effects are marvelously worked into the mechanism.
