About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! If you're already into the wild fun of building the coolest zoo with Zooloretto, get ready for an upgrade! This expansion collected by Rio Grande Games, affectionately nicknamed 'Polar Bear' after one of its new critters, brings together five mini-expansions that were previously sold separately. It's like a 'greatest hits' for your base game!
What's new to the party? We've got the Polar Bear, which gives the pack its name, and three more awesome animals for you to collect: an elephant, a flamingo, and a zebra. Imagine the fun of trying to fit these newcomers into your enclosures, competing with your friends to see who can assemble the most exotic team. Besides the animals, you get three new buildings to add that extra charm to your zoo, and also new building sites that can change how you plan your space.
This expansion doesn't change the game's core, which remains super accessible and fast-paced. The idea is to add more variety and replayability while keeping the simplicity we love about Zooloretto. It's perfect for those who want a little extra strategy and surprise in their games without overcomplicating the rules. If you think you've mastered the base game and want more challenges or just more cute animals (and not-so-cute ones, like the polar bear!), this is the right choice. Just mix it all in and watch your zoo come to life in a whole new way!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Zooloretto to use this expansion?
Absolutely! This is a collection of expansions, so you need to have the base game Zooloretto to play with these new components.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion maintains the player count of the base game, which is 2 to 5 players. It doesn't change this number.
Does the game become more complicated with this expansion?
Not much! The idea is to add more variety and options, but the basic rules of Zooloretto remain the same. It's a great way to add freshness without significantly increasing complexity.
What are the new animals included in this pack?
You'll find the polar bear, elephant, flamingo, and zebra to add to your zoo.
Does this expansion add a lot of new rules?
These are expansion modules that add some specific components and rules, but everything is designed to integrate smoothly with the base game. It's not a radical change.
Is it worth buying if I only play Zooloretto occasionally?
If you enjoy Zooloretto but don't play too often, this expansion might be a bit much. It shines more for those who play frequently and want more variety.
