Using Community Feedback

As part of our publisher pledge to include our community in the process of creation, we commit to using your feedback to help improve our games. Currently we are populating the remaining animals to be added to both Zoo-ography World Exhibits expansion and its Deluxe edition.

Each animal in the game gets it’s own custom silk-screened meeple and a beautifully illustrated card like the Okapi below. There are no stock images in Zoo-ography (like there are in some other popular zoo games).

While we use our official polls on our Community Crafted Games page to make the final determination of which animals will be added to the game, it’s blog posts like these that help us to narrow down the final decision, and that happens in three parts.

  • In the first part, we ask our community to comment on the blog post for which animals you’d love to see in the game.
  • In the second part, we create a poll using select animals from part one to determine which of these are the most popular.
  • In the final part, we take the most popular choices from the second part and add them to the official poll to determine which animal(s) will be added to the game.

So let’s begin with the first part for Asia.

Populating Asia

In addition to the Red Panda and Giant Panda shown above, we’ll be adding at least the following animals from Asia to the game:

Bengal Tiger
Komodo Dragon
Sumatran Orangutan
Bactrian Camel
Asian Water Buffalo

The animals above will be definitely be added to the game. But we need to add at least a few others.

Please comment below which animals from Asia you’d also like to see added to the game. Feel free to list as many as you’d like. We’ll review the list and create a poll based on which animals we think we can viably add to the game.

Thank you for making our games better!

    Some kind of bird — maybe the helmeted hornbill or golden pheasant.

    If you don’t already have peacocks, those are super associated with zoo visits from my own memories. When I was a kid, the Denver Zoo let these wander the grounds (maybe they still do, but it’s been at least 10 years since I’ve been there). Once, a peacock flapped down from a tree branch above a picnic table in the food court and scared some kid half to death. He either nearly or actually fell off his seat. I think that’s the only time I remember seeing a peacock on a high tree branch, so his surprise was very understandable.

    Also, your bactrian camel might feel alone with all these Southerners. A saiga antelope might join it.
