Frank's Zoo
A climbing card game where animals scare off other animals, and you race to shed your whole hand.
Who it's for
Groups who love climbing and shedding games like Tichu and Dalmuti, and want a lively, illustrated take that scales up to seven players.
Not for you if…
You want deep strategy or a two-player option. The animal hierarchy takes a hand or two to click and can feel chaotic with a full table.
Vibe's take
A lively hand-shedding race with an animal pecking order to master, tense and social whether solo or in shifting teams.

About this game
A climbing card game where the ranks are animals, and each creature is only scared off by certain others. Race to empty your hand: play a set of animals, and the next player can only beat it with more of the same, or with an animal that frightens it. Score for shedding your cards, for collecting lions, and for that one prized hedgehog. Works solo or in shifting teams.
