Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game – New Shores

Expand an existing zoo-building game with over eighty new species and three distinct biomes: aquatic, polar, and Australian. Players add new animal types—marine life, polar mammals and birds, and Australian fauna—to enclosures and adapt layouts to accommodate reptiles, amphibians, and semi-aquatic creatures. A modular Animal Exchange lets players mix old and new species, while a large vivarium offers separate placement and strategic choices around conservation, education, or popularity. Gameplay integrates with the base game without adding complexity, introducing new meeples, species interactions, and tactical options that change familiar strategies.
