What is O Zoo le Mio

Each player is a zoo owner with some money and a place to start. The game lasts for five years, each year 5 zoo-tiles are auctioned for the highest bidder and at the end of the year points are calculated. Each zoo-tile contains two different animal types, some roads and possibly trees.

Each player secretly selects the amount of money he is willing to pay for the tile and the highest bidder wins the auction. When ever a tile is bought it needs to be fitted to zoo so that the roads and green areas match. It might be that after the tile is fitted to the zoo, the zoo gets more interesting than before. Interest value is shown with little stars on the tiles, more stars of one color you have, more interesting your zoo is in that animal type. The visitor are also interested in trees and parks. The visitor always go for the most interesting zoos and at the end of the year each visitor in your zoo gives you points. When the year ends each player gets some money and new zoo-tiles are drawn for auction.

The goal is to get as much visitors as possible and thus score more points than others.

A bit strange game, quite difficult to decide what the best action is. Quite different mechanics and not simple strategy. Do not like the look too much, but components are quite good.

Adquirido a el_mago8 el 26/11/2010 por 6€. Es un juego de mayorías muy sencillo. Consiste en construir un zoo y conseguir atraer a mayor número de visitantes. El juego se divide en cinco años. Cada año se subastan cinco losetas, que hay que ir conectando a modo de dominó en el zoo. Cada vez que se coloca una loseta, se evalúa quién tiene la mayoría de visitantes de cada tipo de animal. Además, si se evalúa también la mayoría de setos y la creación de caminos cerrados. Los ultimos turnos son más importantes. En el primer turno se puntúa 1 punto por cada visitante, arbol o banco. En el turno X s

Interesante. Incorpora distintas mecánicas de juego (subastas, baldosas, mayorías...). Buenos componentes. Le falta un poco de chicha.
