Introduction
In Zoomies, you’re a dog walker guiding your playful pups through the dog park to make new friends, lead the pack, collect bones, and, of course, get the zoomies! 🐕
Your mission? Score the most points by matching dog tiles to the center of the table and placing your scoring tokens. Points are earned based on the dogs around your tile, bone icons, and more surprises along the way.
Play your cards (or dogs) wisely, and you’ll rack up even more points by boosting previous tokens and discovering new ways to score. When the game wraps up, it’s time to count your tokens and see who’s crowned top dog! 🏆🐶.
Let’s get it on the table
Zoomies is played over a number of rounds until each player has deposited their scoring tokens.
Your turn consists of the following three steps:
step 1. place a tile,
step 2. place a scoring tile,
step 3. draw a new tile.
Place one of the two tiles from your hand and place it at one of the other tiles on the table one of the side smooth adjacent to another tile and this one must of course with you with the other dog. Can’t play you have to discard at the tiles and take a new tile, while placing you try to make a pack so you can score points with your chit. After this you place a tile on the tile you just placed. On each tile there are different dogs, bones and or zoomies, the dogs you see in the game are chihuahuas, poodles, beagles, huskies, and greyhounds
There are four different types of scoring tokens. The leader here you receive one point for each dog in your pack, Bones, at the end of the game you receive two points for each bone in that pack. Frens herewith you receive points at the end of the game for each connected unique dog next to your pack (note this must be a different dog than your dog). And finally zoomies here you receive a depending on the number of dogs in your pack a number of points, e.g. one dog is one point, and five dogs are 15 points. After placing the Zoomies scoring token, you may place an additional tile from your hand.
After this, draw a new tile so that you again have 2 tiles in your hand. If you cannot place a scoring tile, then place a random scoring tile. Once all players have played or discarded their scoring tiles, the game ends and we start counting the points.
Conclusion & final score
Weight: 2.00/5
Re-playability: 7
Our score: 7 out of 10 dice
Zoomies has very nice artwork, which makes it very interesting for children to play right away. It can sometimes look very messy on the table with the large area of all the tiles and the different dogs and chips. For children it is definitely a fun game but the tiles sometimes make it a little more difficult to play, they are often busy with one tile at a time. That unfortunately makes it not suitable for everyone.
