Zooloretto Duell

Rivalry for the best zoo

In this version of Zooloretto, two zoo directors rival in direct confrontation for the best zoo, most visitors and best attractions.

Seven zoo parts are on display and you begin with one coin; the display of enclosures, vending stands and transport trucks is prepared, as are the animal and vending stand cards.

In several rounds players alternate turns. The active player has one action out of three options: 1. Draw a card and place it openly next to a transport truck with at least one free slot. 2. Take a transport truck with at least one card next to it and quit for the current round; cards at the truck are placed immediately - animals in the corresponding enclosure at the player’s side, vending stands next to the vending location. 3. Money action - you can pay two coins and steal an animal from the opponent’s enclosure for your own, or dispose of all penalty points.

Symbols on animal cards or vending stands give special action: An animal with lightning causes a penalty point; an animal with a heart provides offspring, if available, with a second animal of the kind in the enclosure. A square gives you donations of new animals or vending stands. Symbols on vending stands give you money. Met parameters for animals and stands trigger intermediate scorings; after the last round - triggered by the special card - you score animals, coins and points on scoring and point markers. In the advanced game you may discard a card just drawn instantly, if you pay once coin.

Zooloretto, streamlined to the essentials, elegant and straightforward, but therefore somewhat abstract - an ideal introduction for newcomers to the zoos of Zooloretto!
