About Zoology — from BoardGameGeek:
When the pages of the Great Encyclopedia Zoologica burst open, the wild is unleashed and only sharp minds can restore order. The Great Encyclopedia Zoologica has cracked, scattering creatures from alpacas to platypuses into a chaotic world where instincts run wild and facts matter more than ever. In Zoology, you become a team of curious and quick-witted zoologists, trying to identify animals based on clues and characteristics before the Age of Discovery slips into an Age of Chaos. In Zoology, each player secretly receives an animal card that only others can see, and must deduce their own identity by asking comparative questions about characteristics, appearances, and behaviours. By piecing together clues from what others reveal and how they answer, you gradually narrow down what animal you must be. The game blends analytical thinking and clever communication into a lively deduction challenge that plays in about 15–30 minutes for 2–6 players. There are both competitive and co-operative modes - in the competitive version you try to identify your animal before the others, and in the co-operative mode the group works together to figure out everyone's animals within a set number of turns. With fun facts about each creature and optional modules that add extra animals and variety, Zoology turns simple questioning into a social puzzle full of insight and laughs. -description from the publisher
