Zoo Break

Players cooperate as zookeepers responding to a major gate failure while animals head for the exit. On each turn, players use limited actions to move around the zoo, gather and trade supplies, capture animals, and secure enclosures, all while avoiding hazards and injuries. Animal behavior is driven by Escape and Move cards that create high variability and changing priorities. The game emphasizes crisis management, resource sharing, and coordinated planning as players anticipate animal movements and adapt tactics to regain control before time runs out.
