Build-a-zoo
Build a Zoo is a board game that combines strategy, progression and world-building through the parallel acts of movement and construction.
The objective is to reach the end of the board while gradually building a zoo of your own, turning the game into both a race and a process of assembling a living system. As players move across terrain-based tiles such as ice, water, forest and cliff, they collect zoo cash, unlock abilities and expand the possibilities of where they can go next.
As the zoo grows, it becomes both a visual record of progress and a source of expanding gameplay potential. The game turns zoo-making into an evolving spatial and strategic challenge, where movement, collection and construction continuously shape one another.
