About King of the Zoo

King of the Zoo is a game where players control a penguin in a contest of tabletop sphere clearing. Victory is determined by which side of the table has the lowest count of these objects when the timer expires.

Players earn points by successfully knocking an opponent out of play using a rolled sphere. The core activity involves propelling these spheres across the playing surface with the aim of reducing one's own total.
