Noc w zoo Hits Polish Stores with Spóźnialscy Expansion by Albi Polska Gry

A new board game set in a nighttime zoo is now headed to shelves in Poland: Noc w zoo, along with its expansion Noc w zoo: Spóźnialscy, created by Tomáš Holek and published by Albi Polska Gry.

What players do in Noc w zoo

In Noc w zoo, the goal is to get escaped animals back to their enclosures before the keepers notice they’re gone. Gameplay revolves around building routes and timing movement so creatures can return safely.

  • Players place tiles on their boards to activate actions and create movement paths for the animals.
  • Each animal species moves in its own distinct way and scores points under different rules, making move timing a key decision.
  • A full match is split into 3 stages, each containing 5 rounds.
  • The winner is the player with the highest total points at the end of the game.

Noc w zoo: Spóźnialscy adds new enclosures and tougher movement

The expansion Noc w zoo: Spóźnialscy introduces four new enclosures to the zoo, bringing additional animal residents into the same nighttime escape scenario. It does not change the core rules of the base game, but it increases variety—adding more animal types, including species that use a more demanding movement method.

Release details and pricing

Noc w zoo and Noc w zoo: Spóźnialscy are listed for purchase in Poland, with these approximate prices:

  • Noc w zoo (base game): around 130 PLN
  • Noc w zoo: Spóźnialscy (expansion): around 63 PLN

The set is now available for players looking for a tile-laying, route-planning board game centered on animal escapes and careful turn-by-turn decision-making.
