Zooloretto Mini is the little brother of the 2007 "Spiel des Jahres" (Game of the Year) winner, Zooloretto. As in Zooloretto, each player is the director of a small zoo. They must bring new animals into their zoos and arrange landscape tiles on the grounds. Points are awarded at the end of the game for both.

This is a stand-alone game with simpler rules, shorter game length, and fewer components ideal as an introductory game or for traveling.
