You take on the role of a zoo owner whose park evolves over five years. Each year, five zoo tiles are auctioned, and at season’s end visitors score points. You must place each tile so that roads and green spaces connect, creating pathways and parks that draw more animals and visitors. Each tile offers two animal types, stars indicating how interesting the attraction is, and sometimes trees that also yield points. The auction is sealed: you secretly decide how much to bid, and the highest bidder wins. After building your park, visitors choose the most interesting zoos, each giving you points. At the end of each year, you receive more money and new tiles are up for auction. The goal is to amass the greatest number of visitors and, consequently, more points than competitors. The game blends auction strategy, layout construction, and animal collection in a fun, visually appealing setting, with simple rules that allow a quick learning curve yet leave room for tactical decisions each round.
