Zoo Tycoon: New Shores 2nd Edition + Expansion Board Game First Impression Review

Watch “Zoo Tycoon: New Shores 2nd Edition + Expansion Board Game First Impression Review,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by TableTopVibes on YouTube:

Lions and Tigers and Bears....Dollar signs?? It is when you own a zoo! Based on the nostalgic video game of the same name, take control of a zoo park where you acquire animals, expand your park to park to house them, build attractions for your visitors, manage your zoo costs, send forth your employees around your zoo and show off animal babies (that really give buzz to your zoo). Enhanced through 2nd Edition with Expansion New Shores, this adds a Vivarium (where you place small animals, fish, and lizard eggs), additional water based animals (hey who doesn't want to see penguins), and new habitat types. If you ever wanted to feel like what it was to run a zoo, now is your chance to be a Zoo Tycoon. *Chapter Overview* 0:00:00 - Zoo Tycoon 0:01:20 - Zoo Tycoon Expansion - New Shore 0:02:01 - Overview of your Zoo 0:02:50 - How to Win the Game 0:03:20 - Board Setup 0:04:04 - Buy/Sell your Animals - Summer Phase 0:05:35 - Build your Zoo - Autumn Phase 0:06:31 - Give your Animals a Shiny New Home 0:07:33 - Spruce up your Zoo's Amenities 0:08:19 - Vivarium - Where the Little Animals Live 0:09:10 - It Costs Money to Feed your Animals.

About Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game – New Shores, from BoardGameGeek:

Build your dream zoo with more choices than ever with Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game – New Shores! Dive into aquatic worlds featuring manatees, sea turtles, zebra sharks, and more. Feel the cold breeze from the new type of enclosures featuring polar species such as the majestic polar bear, penguins, and muskox. Additionally, the world of Australian wildlife takes center stage: crocodiles, kangaroos, and koalas guarantee you lots of excited visitors. Discover three different biomes with 24 new main species (represented by over 230 beautiful animal meeples) and 10 co-Species. In addition, a large vivarium is now also an integral part of your zoo. Choose from 48 animal species - fishes, reptiles, amphibians, and more - to fill the vivarium according to your wishes. It's up to you again to decide which direction you want to take. Do you design your vivarium with a focus on conservation, education, or popularity? Get the full zoo experience with this first and final expansion of Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game – New Shores. Watch the zoo of your dreams come true, right in front of you! Gameplay New Shores complements the gameplay of Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game without making it more complicated. Since a completely new Animal Exchange with 3 new biomes and over 80 new species is available, there is an enormous amount to discover and familiar strategies to rethink. In addition, reptiles, aquatic/semiaquatic animals, and the vivarium bring exciting changes to the game mechanics. Especially the vivarium provides new strategic options that you should take advantage of. So, the game experience remains familiar but still refreshingly different. With the modular Animal Exchange that comes with New Shores, you can mix and match old and new species for endless combinations of zoo fun. Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game has never been so diverse! -description from the publisher
