Each player uses small, large, wild, and exotic animals and their young to try to attract as many visitors as possible to their zoo. But be careful - the zoo must be carefully planned.

Mini Expansions, Completely Collected, Slightly Customized
Updated version, including the Octopus, Lucky Pig, and Gift! This now spans 2 pages, with 5 animals per page. I've added nicer formatting. The animals are now on the right side, and sized closer to the originals.

Variants & Expansion Rules Summary (V1)
I've been playing Zooloretto for a long time and decided to combine all the pieces and parts of expansion rules together into one document.
This compendium have pictures and rules for every add-on, expansion and variant that I am aware of for Zooloretto including:
- Mission Cards
- Savings Books
- Pavilions
- Additional Animal Enclosures
- Petting Zoos
- The Polar Bear
- The Gorilla
- King Kong
- The Reindeer
- The Restaurant Stall
- The Souvenir Shop
- The Cashier's Office
- The Feeding Station
- The Tombola
As well as variant rules and combination rules.
This list does NOT contain any of the content from Zooloretto or the XXL or Exotic expansions. Not Aquaretto.
Just the smaller add-ons!
