We know Zooloretto and remember: In Zooloretto, the game of 2007, animals must be housed in a zoo. But the cages have only a limited capacity for accommodation and uncomfortable in the barn there are negative points.
Be admitted the cute little animals with Dolly. While it small plates were placed in the original game, the player must now put their dice on the car.

The total number of available cubes tuned here as well as the number of waiting cars on the number of players. Read more »

When Hanabi imagination is required. The task: Build and light as a colorful, long-lasting fireworks (Japanese "Hanabi"). Unfortunately, there are no real firecrackers available, but we have to be satisfied with playing cards. These fireworks are displayed in different colors and figures.
The players must work together to interpret the cards so that the fireworks achieve the highest possible level. They create it, they win the game. But they make mistakes, it can cause misfires. Twice this is without consequences, the third flash, the game is all but lost.
That actually sounds feasible, would not there still some rules that need to be considered. The most important is a curiosity, already in itself brings Hanabi this week, because the question of what a game Hanabi, the stereotypical answer would be that it was the game in which you hold the map upside down. more »

Inevitably have to see certain parallels to the octopus Paul at this extension. Since the European Championship is coming up, we have taken the opportunity, even a few lines to the octopus - to write extension.
Contrary to previously published mini - expansions, the octopus is not only playable with Zooloretto, but also with Aquaretto. The enclosure is ready to put the octopus in the middle of the table in the match preparation.
The rules of the basic game remain unchanged with the addition that the first player has to be filled enclosure 6 In Zooloretto or a 6 pool with Aquaretto owns, receives the octopus. This is placed under half of the expansion board or next to the water park.
The player then gets 4 coins instantly and must be in accordance with the Octopus Paul the player with the most points at the end of the game to predict. Is it really nothing happens, otherwise he has to pay back two coins. He has no more available two coins he receives per missing coin a minus point.
A truly successful realization of the true heroes of the World Cup 2010. As all previously published mini - expansions of the octopus the zoo can also be something complete and creates a greater selection at completion of the 6 enclosure. Because the first one who managed to do only one of the mini - expansions may choose, so will also get some of the following players. Although not a big twist comes into play, but this is a great innovation that brings a lot of fun with it.

The Grizzly is a free giveaway of Abacus - Games at the fair in Essen 2009. As the two mini-expansions from previous years, the polar bear and the gorilla, and the Grizzly is placed ready in the middle of the table.
The first player who completed the 6 enclosure can be put Grizzly in his zoo. With this brown fellows can make money once the action "discard a tile" an animal from its own stable for a coin. The owner wants to get rid of all the animals out of the barn, he must shell out two coins. The corresponding (n) coin (s) will be placed on the Grizzly and remain there until the end of the game. When rating the money found there does not count.
If they play with gorilla or polar bear, the first player has the choice between the extensions and must choose one. Fill the players, the 6 enclosure, you have the choice between the remaining animals in each case always.
These little animals make a difficult choice really slow, but because you often have a distinct advantage. It is good that there are now only three, so that also the second and third can look forward to. These little helpers are not only very useful but also very beautiful. Whether Abacus probably get carried to even a cute animal to the fair in 2010? We would appreciate it at least ...

The book published in Abacus game publisher game by Stefan Risthaus revolves around the "Wonders of the World", ie the seven, and other wonders of the world, such as Acropolis, the Colosseum, the Hanging Gardens which are called here "Semiramis" or called the pyramids here "Inentet" .
If you believe the opening words of the rule of the game, after which players try this Kartenpiel for 2-4 players "to gain eternal fame by magnificent monuments built" with, associations with "Medina" and other building games are first awakened in which abundant components are being handled.

After we have looked at in this week's vacation photos from a "sealarium", we agreed spontaneously to a game of "Aquaretto" to determine the differences and try to Zooloretto the XXL extension.
The gameplay of Aquaretto is taken from Zooloretto. It goes back about his animal park, its water basin, with animal life to fill in this framework and to take care that all animals also fit into another, without getting into the Bedrullie with the pool size.
What is new is that there are now keepers can take various "tasks", such as they are cashier, manager or they take over the feeding. This in turn has a positive effect in the final.
The second difference to Zooloretto is that the individual enclosure or pool itself can be chosen in form and structure, which makes the expansion of the zoo a little more complicated. It expands too early, it can be closely in other species. It expands too late, no animals do more,
Aquaretto can be seen as a successful development of Zooloretto. The animals are lovingly redrawn and the game content is just given by the slowness with which the (space), problems arise. We now look forward to the great round with Zooloretto, Aquaretto, XXL extension and all small extensions, as all games can be combined well.
