About the game
In Zoomies, you're a dog walker helping your pups at the park make friends, collect bones, become the leader of the pack, and get the zoomies. Each turn, place a domino-style tile in the playing area, then place a scoring token on it. Each of the four scoring tokens can be played two ways, so you have to choose what's best and what to give up. Tokens give you points based on adjacent dogs, bone icons, and more. Play your dogs right, and you can add points to a previous token while digging up a whole new way to score. You might have to boost an opponent's score, but maybe they'll wag a few points your way as well. At the end of the game, score each token to see who's top dog.

Questions and answers
Zoomies 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 Zoomies is 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 Zoomies 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.
Zoomies has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a 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.
