Zoo Vadis

Zoo Vadis is a vibrant negotiation and strategy game where animals take control of the zoo, campaigning for fame, prestige, and the ultimate title of Zoo Mascot. Every species seeks a place in the star exhibit, but only through smart politicking, clever deals, and bold tactics can they earn the laurels needed to win.

Designed by Reiner Knizia, Zoo Vadis reimagines his classic game Quo Vadis? with fresh mechanics, modern upgrades, and an engaging zoo theme. Players must negotiate their way up the hierarchy of enclosures, gaining the support of fellow creatures while outmaneuvering rivals. Only those who reach the star exhibit have a chance at victory, and the animal with the most laurels becomes the celebrated Zoo Mascot.

What makes Zoo Vadis unique:

• Dynamic 3-player mode with neutral, bribable peacocks

• Two boards to support a wide range of player counts, including 6–7 players

• Asymmetric animal abilities for deeper negotiation strategies

• Special laurel tokens that create new tactical possibilities

• Stunning artwork by Kwanchai Moriya and Brigette Indelicato

• Chunky animal figures and functional player screens for a premium feel

Zoo Vadis combines negotiation, strategy, and social interaction in a colorful, thematic experience. Perfect for game nights with friends or family, it is ideal for players who enjoy deals, alliances, and a battle of wits to claim the spotlight.
