The Premise
In Zoo Break, you take on the role of a zookeeper tasked with recapturing escaped animals before chaos ensues. The game board represents the zoo, with various enclosures and pathways for the animals to roam. Each player has a unique set of movement cards that allow them to strategically maneuver their zookeeper and herd the animals back into their respective enclosures.
Game Mechanics
- Setup: Players choose their zookeeper pawn and receive a hand of movement cards. The animal tokens are placed on designated starting spots on the board.
- Movement: On their turn, players play one movement card from their hand to move their zookeeper or an animal. Movement cards have different patterns, allowing for various strategic possibilities.
- Capturing: If a zookeeper ends their move adjacent to an animal, they can attempt to capture it by rolling the capture die. Success means the animal is returned to its enclosure, earning points.
- End Game: The game ends when all animals are captured or a predetermined number of rounds have been played. The player with the most points from captured animals wins.
