Zoogitives is a board game released in 2024 for 3–6 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Alberto Millán and its main mechanics are Paper-and-Pencil.
A big casino has been robbed by a group of crafty animals: The Heist of the Century. The thieves hid in different countries and are believed to have changed their appearance. The police offer forgiveness and the loot to anyone who denounces their accomplices. Zoogitives is an investigation and deduction game. You will have to guess who the Heist of the Century thieves are, and where they are hidden. To solve the puzzle, you will have to use the dice strategically, write the clues down to discover the secrets of the other players and protect yours, and create hypotheses on your deduction table. If you succeed, you will keep the loot. Will you be able to succeed ? —description from the publisher
Zoogitives supports 3–6 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 Zoogitives is 15–30 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 Zoogitives for ages 10 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.
Zoogitives has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
