About the game
The Zoovenirs expansion adds a new dimension of gameplay along with additional cards with new abilities. The Most Memorable Zoo award is now up for grabs, but here's the catch: this award can be won at any point during the game and moves around depending on who has the most "Zoovenirs" cards. New cards like the Kangaroo, Manatee, and Peafowl add special advantages and new facilities like the Train Ride can really take your zoos for a ride. Zoovenirs supports an additional player (5-player) joining in on the zoo-building fun. Includes: 7 Animal Cards 4 Facility Cards 1 Staff Card 5 Event Cards 1 Award Card 6 Money Cards

The catalogue lists Zoo King: Zoovenirs for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
