## Description
If you're a fan of Zooloretto and looking to spice up your animal collection, this expansion is for you! "Zooloretto: Three Extra Enclosures" introduces three new development boards to the base game, each dedicated to a special animal: the panda, chimpanzee, and camel (in the Abacus version) or elephant, flamingo, and zebra (in the Rio Grande version). These extra boards are placed in the center of the table, and each can hold up to two animal tiles. The twist is that you can acquire one of these boards by using the money action, spending two coins. It's a cool way to expand your enclosure options and diversify your zoo, aiming to complete animal sets in new and more strategic ways. The expansion is quite simple, coming in a postcard format with instructions to cut out the pieces and add them to the game. It doesn't change the core essence of Zooloretto, which is hand management and animal collection, but it brings a welcome freshness for those who already master the basic rules and want a bit more variety. It's ideal for those who already enjoy the original game and want to add more elements without overcomplicating the rules. The fun remains the same: grab the right cards, avoid unwanted animals, and build the most profitable zoo!
