Occasionally we feature a post from our friends at The Malted Meeple. Their Game of the Month series highlights one of the many games in their libraries at Ravenwood Castle and The Malted Meeple. They briefly describe the game, how to play it, and why they like it. 

Game: Kung Fu Zoo

If you hung around your local zoo after it closed for the night, you’d see the nighttime rituals of the exotic animals you visited during the day. You’d see cages being cleaned, souvenir stands being restocked, and animals being fed and refreshed.  If you were lucky, you might catch an impromptu seal show, perhaps a moonlight nightingale concert, or even the monkeys still monkeying around!

And if you stayed late enough, long after the last employee had left for the night, you just might see the greatest, and most secret, of all zoo attractions – the late night Kung Fu fights! Every zoo has wild animals, and they all know Kung Fu!

Welcome to Kung Fu Zoo!

Many of you may be thinking that this game sounds awfully familiar. And you would be right! This game is one of The Malted Meeple’s first Professor Meeple’s Game Lab Participants and comes to us from local designer Charlie Price! We are happy to see such a great game fully published and getting the recognition it deserves!

Kung Fu Zoo is a competitive, dice-flicking, dexterity game for 2-4 players. You and your opponents control a team of classically-trained Kung Fu-fighting wild animals, from crocodiles to zebras.  Prepare to engage in Kung Fu battles against your rivals. Who will be tonight’s champions of the zoo arena? Two animal teams enter, one team leaves! Grab some animal dice and find out!
