Return unused trucks to the box. Each player takes a zoo board and places in front of himself his play area. He then places an expansion board face-down to the left of his zoo board. The game lasts several rounds. On a player's turn, he must perform one of the following three actions:.

The turn then passes to the next player in clockwise order. Once each player has taken a delivery truck, the round is over and a new round begins. The player draws and reveals the topmost tile from any stack and places it in an open space on any untaken delivery truck of his choice. Each delivery truck has room for no more than 3 tiles. Should all delivery trucks already have 3 tiles on them, then the player cannot choose this action. He must then choose either action B or C.

Important: tiles from the stack covered by the wooden disc can only be drawn once all other stacks have been exhausted! The player chooses any untaken delivery truck and places it, along with any tiles on it, in his play area.

He must immediately add the tiles from the truck to his zoo. Once a player has taken a truck, he passes for the rest of the round and will not get another turn until the next round. Since all passing players will have delivery trucks in front of them, it is easy to tell who has passed in any given round. Important: no enclosure may contain more than one type of animal tile. However, a player may have multiple enclosures containing the same animal type.

If there aren't any legal spaces for an animal tile left in the enclosures, then the player must place the animal in his barn instead. A vending stall may be placed on an empty stall space or in the barn. If there aren't any stall spaces left, then the player must place the tile in his barn instead.

A coin tile is added to any other coins the player has. A coin tile is worth one coin. Both are equivalent and may be used interchangeably. Important: players may have as many tiles and as many types of tiles including both animals and vending stalls as they wish in their barns.

Note: a player may choose to place an animal tile in his barn, even if he has an appropriate empty space in one of his enclosures. The player may carry out one of the following actions, provided that he can pay for it. Important: A player may never carry out more than one money action per turn. Therefore, a player wishing to carry out more involved remodeling projects will have to choose the action "carry out one money action" on multiple turns.

The player moves a single animal tile from the barn to an empty enclosure space or he moves any one vending stall tile from it's current location to any eligible space in his zoo. Example: Anna has 2 elephants in her barn and 3 elephants in an enclosure. She moves 1 elephant from the barn to the enclosure. She now has 4 elephants in the enclosure.

Example no pic. The player takes all tiles of one animal type in either his barn or one of his zoo's enclosures and exchanges them with all tiles of one other animal type in another of his zoo's locations. An exchange must always involve exactly two areas and the animal types must be different. An exchange involving two areas with the same animal type is not allowed. Important: an exchange is not permitted when one enclosure is too small to accommodate all of the new tiles that would be placed there or when one of the areas is empty.

Example: Claus has 3 elephants in his barn and 1 panda in one of his enclosures. He exchanges the two animal types, after which he has 1 panda in his barn and 3 elephants in the enclosure. Example: Doris has 3 elephants in one enclosure and 2 pandas in another. Through an exchange, the two animal types end up switching enclosures. For 2 coins, the player may either purchase an animal or vending stall tile from an opponent's barn or discard an animal or vending stall tile from his own barn.

The player takes the animal or vending stall tile of his choice from the barn of another player and adds it to his own zoo. The player discards the animal or vending stall tile of his choice from his barn. The tile is removed from the game. The player pays 3 coins to the bank and turns his expansion board face up. This expands his zoo by one enclosure and one stall space. The players return the empty trucks to the middle of the table and the next round begins, starting with the player who took the last delivery truck in the previous round.

Note: if all players but one have passed, this player may continue to take as many turns as he can and chooses before taking the last delivery truck and passing! There are 2 fertile males and females of each animal type, distinguishable by the small symbols on their tiles.

When a player adds the appropriate partner for a fertile male or female is to an enclosure where the partner waits, the two immediately produce an offspring. The player takes one of the appropriate offspring tiles from the supply and places it onto an empty space in the enclosure. Once placed, the offspring tile is treated like any other animal tile. If there isn't any space left in the enclosure, the player must place the offspring in his barn instead. Note: all that is required is for the male and female to be in the same enclosure - they do not need to be next to each other.

Each male and female can produce an offspring only once. So, for example, no offspring is produced when a third fertile animal is added to an enclosure that already has a fertile pair.
