Zooloretto: Christmas Tree

About this expansion

Zooloretto: Christmas Tree is a half-official expansion for 2–5 players, with a listed play time of 45 minutes and a 2009 release year.

This compact addition centers on a specific achievement: filling a six-space enclosure. When that happens, the owner gains a one-time choice between three tiles by paying one coin.

The special rule gives players a clear extra objective to pursue while adding a limited tile-selection opportunity. Its effect is deliberately restricted: the choice can be used only once, and the cost is one coin.

• For 2–5 players
• Approximately 45 minutes
• Released in 2009
• Triggered by filling a six-space enclosure
• One-time choice of three tiles for one coin
• Allowed to be played only on Christmas

Zooloretto: Christmas Tree has an unusual release history. It was originally the designer’s Christmas card for 2009 and was later re-issued as an insert in the German game magazine spielbox #7/2010.

Its seasonal restriction is part of the design: the expansion is explicitly allowed to be played only on Christmas. For players observing that condition, it offers a small, focused addition built around enclosure completion and a single paid choice from three tiles.
