Zooloretto Würfelspiel XXL adds most of the rules of Zooloretto to Zooloretto the Dice Game. In this game you roll and choose dice like in the dice game, but the rest is played mostly like the big brother Zooloretto. For the game you need pencil and eraser as well, as you can take all the money actions present in the original including remodeling, purchasing animal from the other player's barn, discarding an animal from your own barn and even expanding your zoo. Bonuses and scoring is also the same as in the original game excluding the vending stall scoring.
