About the game
What you do in a play session
Each round, you'll participate in a closed draft, choosing the best cards for your hand. Hand management is crucial, as you'll need to decide which cards to use for enclosures, which for animals, and which for valuable upgrades. The melding and splaying mechanic comes into play as you organize your enclosures, ensuring the right animals are in the correct habitats and that coexistence rules are respected. After all, you don't want a lion saying 'hello' too closely to an anteater, right? And more peculiar critters, like the tree frog, have very specific habitat requirements you need to meet to score high.
Beyond simply collecting sets of cards for animals and enclosures, some special animal rules can boost your score. A lion, for example, might take up less space if accompanied by other lions – a valuable tip for optimizing your park. Zuuli is a fun adventure full of clever decisions, where every card choice and animal placement counts towards the success of your animal sanctuary. Get ready for an engaging and charming game experience!
