Zany zoo-dwellers are parading around the pool in their bikinis. That's just plain weird. Some other animals are completely naked. That's less weird - or is it weirder? Not sure. Clearly, you want to be first to be free of these crazy animals. Ironically, or perhaps coincidentally, one thing that may help you do just that is a zucchini. What? You were expecting a cucumber? Your goal in Zookini is to get rid of all cards in your hand first. On a turn, you draw one card from the deck, then play up to two cards from your hand on the discard pile; each card you play must match the top card of the discard pile either in animal type or in what the animal is wearing (or not wearing). For example, if the top card shows a flamingo wearing a zebra bikini, you may play: Any flamingo Any zebra Any other animal wearing a flamingo bikini Any other animal wearing a zebra bikini Other cards like crazy gorillas, naked animals, and the unique zucchini will spice up this fast-paced card game.
