Build the ultimate zoo at your table

Zoo King captures the nostalgia of classic zoo-management video games and brings it to life in a simple, highly replayable card game. Designed for 2–4 players (5 with the Zoovenirs expansion!), you’ll draft and collect iconic animals, hire specialized staff, and build top-tier facilities—balancing clever strategy with press-your-luck twists to outsmart rival owners. Whether you’re pairing up animals for big bonuses or adapting to dynamic event cards, every decision shapes the future of your park. Will you win the most awards and take home the title of King?

Add in over 75 unique animal cards and supremely thematic zoo vibes, it’s no wonder Zoo King won The Dice Tower Seal of Approval!

LIMITED SUPPLY! Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Now Available! These all new cards are released in conjunction with The Dice Tower network and features their founder, Tom Vasel, on the Facilities Supervisor card. Zoos can’t keep up their great work without someone to oversee the grounds, buildings, and construction projects and taking a chance on this card might just get you the new asset you needed! The birth of a new baby Pygmy Hippo sent that animal viral last year, so we celebrate it along with creator favorite the Shoebill (seen at ZooTampa!) which might make the aviary more appealing to you!

Also included is the latest Zoo King postcard…which animal will it be?
