Why It's On The List
- Yet another zoo-related game on the list (there are actually 3 of them!) - this time, it's a very-straightforward tile-laying game that can be give a lot of layers (esp. by using the expansion) or kept simple, straightforward, and very family-friendly with the base game.
Tips & Tricks:
- Like many game where players draft from a common pool, timing is extremely important.
- As well, this is a game that rewards the Tetris-y spatial skills of looking at a piece and being able to mentally flip it about to find the optimal placement.
- The addition of the goals (both from the base game and the expansion) vary up the mental puzzle really well.
Extras
- The storage solution in the base game is, well... not very good. I love the Folded Space insert I bought that fits both the base game and The Bad News Bears expansion into the box.
- The expansion adds extra goals, an additional piece of land per player for building, grizzly bear enclosures, and tramways. I think the tramways here are much better implemented than in the designer's Cloud City game.
- This is Phil Walker-Harding's second of two games on my top 100 games countdown.
