ZooJourn Board Game

Welcome to ZooJourn, a thrilling and adventurous game where you step into the shoes of a dedicated zoologist on a mission to travel the world, collecting animals from the Animal Alphabet, from A to Z. 

As you traverse the globe, you'll be tasked with gathering animal cards that represent each letter of the alphabet. Your primary goal is to organize these animals into alphabetic animal “straights” — sequences that are either one long continuous straight or multiple shorter straights, arranged alphabetically. These straights will be brought to the Animal Sanctuary, a safe haven where your animals will be protected. Each successful straight you complete will earn you points, so the more strategic you are, the more points you can rack up.

However, the path to becoming the World's Greatest Zoologist is not without its challenges. Along the way, you’ll have to watch out for the Pernicious Poacher, a sneaky villain who is always on the lookout for ways to sabotage your efforts and steal your prized animals. There are also Challenge Cards that pit zoologists against each other and that can swing the tide of the game dramatically.

The race is on! The first zoologist to reach 12 points will be crowned the World's Greatest Zoologist—at least until the next adventure. Whether you focus on completing long straights with rare animals or creating multiple smaller straights, every decision will count toward your victory. Keep a sharp eye out, travel the globe wisely, and gather your animals carefully.

Are you ready for the wildest adventure of your life? The world’s animals are waiting for you to collect and protect them. Good luck, have fun, and don’t let the poacher catch you off guard! The journey begins now...
