About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to give your park in Habitats a boost? The XL expansion arrives with 16 new tiles to supercharge your strategies and grant you 3 extra turns of pure fun. Now, you'll need plenty of space for the more demanding animals, who are worth more points if you nail their habitat requirements. Think carefully, because these critters aren't satisfied with just anything! And for those who enjoy camping, we've got 4 new "campsite" tiles. Your visitors will love spending the night, and you gain bonus points if the campsite is well-connected to the rest of the park – the easier the access, the more valuable it becomes. Oh, and let's not forget the 4 flower tiles, adding that extra charm and potentially yielding a few more points. The expansion maintains the simplicity of the base game, with very little text on the tiles, making memorization a breeze. It's the perfect addition for those who already enjoy Habitats and want more challenges and scoring opportunities, expanding the possibilities for building your private zoo. Get ready to plan even more carefully and watch your park grow!
