Contents

In addition to the material from Aquaretto, the following are needed for using this expansion:

  • 22 tiles with brown backs:
    • 8 animal tiles (1 each of 8 animal types)
    • 12 supply tiles and 2 coin tiles
  • 1 extra-large expansion board
  • 12 coins

Follow the normal Aquaretto rules except as follows:

Preparation

  • Place the extra-large expansion board in the middle of the table.
  • Add the tiles and the coins from this expansion to those from the basic game.
  • From now on, follow the usual preparation for Aquaretto (shuffle the animal and coin tiles, separate 15 tiles for game end, etc.).
  • With games of fewer than 5 players, remove the normal number of supply tiles from the game (as with the animal types in the basic game):
    • with 4 players: 1 supply tile,
    • with 3 players: 2 supply tiles, and
    • with 2 players: 3 supply tiles.

Playing the game

B. Take a delivery truck and pass for the rest of the round

If the player takes a delivery truck with 1 or more supply tiles, he puts these with his coins. During the scoring, each supply tile supplies one basin.

C. Carry out one money action

III. Expand the water zoo

The extra-large expansion board costs 2 coins to the bank. Using this, the player expands his water zoo by 5 spaces. It does not allow an additional basin. The player places the extra large board using the normal rules for adding spaces.

Scoring

The scoring takes place as usual with the following addition:

  • Each supply tile, which the player has, supplies exactly one basin.
  • If the player supplies all his basins, he receives 2 bonus points.

Note: even if a player has more supply tiles than he has basins, he scores only 2 bonus points.

  • For each unsupplied basin he scores 1 minus point.

Note: The depot does not have to be supplied.

Aquaretto XXL with Zooloretto XXL

If Aquaretto and Zooloretto are played together, the supply tiles are used by both. During the scoring, each supply tile supplies exactly one basin and one enclosure.

  • If the player supplies all his basins, he receives 2 bonus points.
  • If the player supplies all his enclosures (with animals), he receives 2 bonus points.
  • For each unsupplied basin, the player scores minus 1 point.
  • For each unsupplied enclosure (with animals), the player scores minus 1 point.

Example: the player has animals in 3 enclosures at his zoo, and he has 4 basins in his water zoo. During the scoring he has 3 supply tiles. This allows him to supply all three enclosures and 3 of the basins and he scores 2 bonus points. He scores 2 points for supplying all his enclosures and loses 1 point for supplying 1 basin less than he has. He gets no points for supplying only some basins.

Zooloretto or Aquaretto for two players

For two-player games, two special delivery trucks are included: a delivery truck for 1 tile and a delivery truck for 2 tiles. They replace the two normal delivery trucks that were covered by 1 and 2 tiles is the basic game rules. Otherwise, the two-player game is played as described in the basic game rules.
