constant negotiation, political maneuvering, deal-making energy, hidden scoring tension

About this game

The animals are running the zoo, and political maneuvering determines who gets the star exhibit. Zoo Vadis is a pure negotiation game where you bribe, trade favors, and lobby fellow players to advance your animals through a political hierarchy. Every vote requires support from other players, creating constant deal-making. The hidden scoring from collected laurels means you never know exactly who is winning, keeping negotiations honest until the final reveal.
