About the game
What you do in a play session
Straight from the Rio Grande Games oven, the second collected expansion pack for Zooloretto arrives with a bang! Affectionately named Zooloretto: Gorilla, it brings together five mini-expansions that were previously sold separately, all in one place for your enjoyment (and your collection's!). If you're already a fan of the original Zooloretto, get ready to inject new life into your gameplay with more options and challenges.
This gem adds elements like the "Gorilla Job Boards," which can alter how you plan your animal collections, and "The Savings Book," introducing a different way to manage your points or resources. For Aquaretto fans, there's more good stuff coming with "Three Coworker Tiles" and "The Trains," promising to supercharge your games in this sibling title to Zooloretto.
The main highlight here is the variety. With five expansions in a single package, you have a wealth of new strategies to explore, keeping the game consistently fresh. It's like unwrapping multiple gifts in one! The "Set Collection" mechanic remains the heart of the gameplay, but these additions bring new layers of complexity and fun without overcomplicating things. It's perfect for those who want to add extra spice to their Zooloretto or Aquaretto sessions without needing a 50-page rulebook. Just grab it, mix it in, and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base Zooloretto game to use these expansions?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion pack, so you need to own the base Zooloretto game to play with these new components and rules.
How many players can participate with these expansions?
The expansions generally maintain the player count of the base game, which is 2 to 5 players. Check the specific rules for each mini-expansion if there are any variations.
Do the expansions make the game much more complicated?
They add new layers and strategies, which might slightly increase complexity. However, the accessible spirit of Zooloretto is maintained, and most players find the extra complexity welcome and not overwhelming.
What exactly is included in this pack?
This pack brings together five mini-expansions that were previously released separately: Gorilla, Job Boards, The Savings Book, Three Coworker Tiles, and The Trains. Each adds unique elements to the game.
Can I use these expansions with the Aquaretto game too?
Yes! Two of the included mini-expansions, "Three Coworker Tiles" and "The Trains," are specifically designed to be used with the Aquaretto game, adding more options for it.
What is the average playtime with the expansions?
The playtime tends to be a bit longer than the base game, depending on how many expansions you decide to use. Expect something between 45 and 60 minutes, but it can vary.
