Zoo-themed board games seem to be the up and coming thing right now, with two new ones at the UK Games Expo this past weekend.
Zookeepers
I tried this game out with some friends at the Expo. Gameplay was a little light for our group, but it seemed really nice for families or for when you want a less involved game. As an extra nice touch, the game has been developed in partnership with Lisbon Zoo.
Zuuli
Somehow managed to miss this one, it's not heavy gameplay at all but looks like fun, like Sushi Go with animals
Wild: Serengeti
Got to try this one too, everyone really enjoyed it. Not zoo-themed, instead it is about making wildlife documentaries by placing animals in the right places and habitats on the board to match scene objectives. It sounds light, but it's really strategic, and the animal playing pieces are wonderful! There's another game in the series coming up later this year, set in the Amazon.
Also, we had an argument about what cat is depicted on the front of the box. We were evenly split between leopard and cheetah. I'm convinced it's a leopard
