Brand New Zoo is a roll and write game where players will attempt to build their best zoo using shared dice results. Each player uses a single printed game sheet and writing utensil, while one player also needs two dice that will be shared. On a turn, two dice are rolled and all players use the results. Players can use dice to either draw enclosures, hire zoo keepers, or acquire animals. If doubles are rolled, players can choose to charge admission. All animals have different scoring conditions or are worth varying points. Turns are simultaneous and games last about 20 minutes. Brand New Zoo utilizes a modular expansion system that allows players to use as many expansions as they like. Players can play the base game as an introduction, then mix and match as many expansions as they wish.
