About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a card-driven marathon with Zoo and More! This isn't just one game; it's a veritable compendium featuring five distinct experiences, all powered by four custom decks. Think of it like a card game buffet! You've got 'Chai Tea Jazz,' a modern take on the classic Coiffeur-Jass, complete with all the bells and whistles. Craving something more chaotic? 'Hodge Podge Dodgeball' throws you into a team-based avoidance game where following suit is the least of your worries. If you enjoy the adrenaline rush of passing cards to your partner in real-time, 'Bug House Millionaire' will have you glued to the table with its climbing/shedding mechanics. For those who appreciate strategic trick-taking, 'Short Zoot Suit' focuses on short-suiting opponents, which can be a double-edged sword. And to top it all off, 'Through the Zoo' is a meta-game that has you revisiting and rethinking traditional deck games in a fresh way. With a light weight (2/5), Zoo and More is accessible for newcomers, but the sheer variety ensures that even seasoned gamers will find something to enjoy. It promises guaranteed fun for 2 to 6 players, with game times ranging from a quick 5 minutes to an epic 125 minutes, offering options for every kind of gaming session, from a brief hangout to an all-day marathon.
