...and you are gonna move a lot of tiles and animal-shaped meeples.
Puzzling and animal breeding: Designer Uwe Rosenberg is at his best!
New York Zoo is what is called a polyomino puzzle game. The idea is that you want to be the first player to have their zoo board filled with multiform Tetris-like puzzle pieces, each representing a cage or enclosure.
Build animal enclosures, introduce new animals, and raise their offspring. The game play is straight forward as you have only two turn options: puzzle a new enclosure tile into your zoo area or gain new animals to populate your animal enclosures. But be sure to time your actions well since you want your zoo to participate in as many animal breedings as possible.
You start with a zoo board and two animals, which are placed in the "indoor enclosures" on the left side of the board.
After that, players take turns moving the elephant on the center board with one to four (or three based on your player count) squares to grab a tile with an outdoor enclosure or two animals for your zoo.
If you choose to grab an outdoor enclosure, you will need to place it in your zoo and add an animal that comes from your indoor cage or from one of the other enclosure tiles in your zoo. If you take animals, you can place them in one of your pens or on one of the cages on your board. It is important to note that each outdoor enclosure tile can only contain one type of animal.
As the elephant walks around the center board, it also passes the so-called breeding areas. When this happens, animals can multiply, but only when there are two of the same on a field tile, a third is added.
Once one of your areas is full of animals, move it from your board back to the supply, keep one in an indoor enclosure if you wish, and get an attraction tile to fill up your zoo faster. The game ends when the first player completely fills their zoo with accommodation and attraction tiles. He or she is the winner.
It is as simple as that. And it is brilliant.

We would love to thank Feuerland Spiele for their authorization to bring the game on BGA, as well as the game designer and the whole team behind this title. Of course, nothing could be played online without the dedication of a developer, and this brilliant adaptation has been done by Mizutismask. Thanks and love to her for this!
That's it for this Monday!
Enjoy a few games, and as always,
Take care and play fair!
We like to.... MOVE IT!
纽约动物园:移动!不择手段地移动!
...指的是移动很多板块和动物模型。
拼图与动物繁殖: 设计师 Uwe Rosenberg 将其完美地结合到了一起!
纽约动物园 是一种被称为多米诺拼图游戏的桌游。游戏目标是成为第一个用类似俄罗斯方块的拼图将自己的动物园棋盘填满的玩家,其中,每个拼图代表一个动物笼子或一片围栏。
建造围栏,引进新动物,培育它们的后代。游戏玩法非常简单,你只有两种操作:在你的动物园里新建围栏,或是将新的动物放入围栏。但请一定要合理规划,以确保动物园里有更多的动物。
一开始,你的动物园只有两只动物,它们被放置在棋盘左侧的“室内栏舍”中。
之后,玩家轮流移动位于中央棋盘上的大象,移动一到四个方格(或根据玩家数量为三个)来获取一个带有室外栏舍或两只动物的拼图,用于你的动物园。
如果你选择获取一个室外栏舍,你需要将其放置在你的动物园,并添加来自你的室内笼子或你的动物园中其他栏舍拼图的动物。如果你选择动物,你可以将它们放在你的一个栏舍或者你棋盘上的一个笼子上。需要注意的是,每个室外栏舍拼图只能容纳一种类型的动物。
当大象在中央棋盘上行走时,它也会经过所谓的繁殖区域。当这种情况发生时,动物可以繁殖,但只有当在一个场地拼图上有两只相同的动物时,第三只才会被添加进去。
一旦你的某个区域里充满了动物,就将它从你的棋盘上移回供应区,如果你愿意,可以在一个室内栏舍中保留一只动物,并获得一个吸引力拼图,以更快地填满你的动物园。游戏在第一个玩家完全用住宿和吸引力拼图填满他们的动物园时结束。他或她是赢家。
就是这么简单,就是这么有趣。
