Takumi Zoo (Japanese Edition)

Winner of the Excellence Award in the Communication Toy Category at the 2023 Japan Toy Awards

This is an "expansion and reproduction" board game where you create the most attractive zoo of all. Develop the board with land panels, choose animals to keep according to the terrain, and create the zoo with the highest points. The key is to collect popular animals and increase the appeal of the zoo. This is an authentic board game that both adults and children can enjoy together.

The game design and illustrations were done by Takumi Minamibata, a boy who was in the first grade at the time and is now in the fifth grade. The prototype of the game was "Takumi ZOO", which he created as a free study during the summer vacation of his first year of elementary school. The game was created out of a desire to play more board games with friends. In addition to the Toy Grand Prix, it was highly praised and won a prize in the WonderFi toy contest among many other games and puzzles.

This is a Japanese language edition and contains no English components unless stated in condition notes.
