Addictive linking fun awaits you in Australia Zoo Quest. Have you ever wondered what animals are native to Australia? Do you know at what age a tiger cub becomes independent? Is a wombat a REAL animal? And what is that porcupine looking thing, and how does it's mother carry it in her pouch? Link matches of three or more to fill the container with the required points, and be rewarded with pictures and information about this and more from Australia Zoo Quest.
Australia Zoo Quest challenges you to link together matches of three or more of an animal to gain points. Don't dally or the animals will get sick though. If you are a superb linker and can make a chain of 9 like animals you will be rewarded with a cure for all the animals on the board. Wild 'CRIKEY' and freeze time tiles can both be used to form or extend a chain. After each level, you will be presented with a new animal to read about, while you look through a series of three pictures of them.
The boys were excited by the look of Australia Zoo Quest. They were a bit frustrated by the quick pace of the game though. Although it offered three different levels of difficulty, I did not notice a difference between them. If you enjoy fast paced match 3/linking fun, this is a game for you! The information and the pictures of the animals did draw everyone over, although we were wishing that there was more information... sounds like the next homeschooling project is Australian animals! Australia Zoo Quest was fun to play, and getting to the next animal card was very addictive. I recommend this as a family game, fun for older children or parents, and cool and educational for everyone!
