About the game
Night at the Zoo is a board game from Capstone Games, designed by Tomáš Holek (2026). It plays 1–4 players in 30 minutes, for ages 10+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.4 out of 10 and call it medium-light (2.1 / 5 weight).
The animals are out! Sneaking out of the zoo at night for a little break, they need your help to find their way back before the keepers discover their absence.
In this tile-drafting game, the players must safely guide the animals back to their enclosures. They will explore the darkened zoo, discovering the best routes home.
Each round, you'll draft tiles and strategically place them on your board. This action not only builds a path for your animals but also triggers special abilities. With each animal having its own unique movement rules and scoring method, every game of Night at the Zoo offers a fresh, new adventure!
