About the game
The goal of Satanimals is to build and maintain the ULTIMATE demonic petting zoo! Draw visitors, zoo keepers and SATANIMALS from the queue of cards to help you expand your zoo. Visitors may be kept for points or tossed into the sacrificial pit to stop rivals petting zoos from progressing. There are 5 different SATANIMALS to collect for your petting zoo in order to attract visitors: Karma the Dog, Ouija the Alpaca, Lucifer the Goat, Envy the Peacock and of course, Sloth the Sloth! Place your SATANIMALS down in stacks, the more SATANIMALS in a stack, the more points it's worth. But be wary, a zoo doesn't run itself... You will need to hire zoo keepers to protect you animals from any nasty sacrifices conducted by your opponents. How will you build your zoo? Quickly, to catch your opponents off guard, or slowly, to amass a grand amount of points? —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Satanimals supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Satanimals is 10–25 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Satanimals for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Satanimals has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
