This game will not teach your kids about animals, habitats, or ecology. If anything, the educational aspect is understanding probability. It doesn't matter - this is a great game. Fun, relatively quick, and appropriate for a wide range of ages. It says 8 and up, but any child ~5 who can read - or is playing with someone who can read - can play.

My kids love all of the Cranium games, but I think this one is a favorite with both the kids and the grown ups in the family. Very good game for kids who like games like Parcheesi. Lots of informative about ecology, and really well designed.

Some of the Cranium products are iffy - confusing, little pieces, etc. This one is definitely a hit! Everyone gets to play each turn so it moves quickly. Basic math is involved so it requires thinking and it's just a fun game! You can team up with little ones if needed but no one seems to get bored.
The family enjoys it and the kids love to play it with their friends. We've given several copies as gifts and have gotten follow up calls from parents to thank us!

Players compete to build a zoo and open first. A zoo can be opened after a player builds four habitats. Habitats require food, animals and shelter in order to be built. On each turn players try to guess which of the tree resources will be rolled on the resource die. If they guess correctly, they take an appropriate resource card. The player whose turn it is then moves the number of spaces shown on the standard die and follows the space's instructions.
Play is fairly simple but fun. Although resources can be collected by everyone on every turn all other functions can only be performed by the player whose turn it is (the box claims all players can play on all turns). The game comes with sixteen habitats. Usually a player will choose a habitat when they can build one but variations can include dealing out the habitats at the beginning or having players choose them at the beginning (this can remove some of the disappointments from not being able to build first). All in all a fun game. Check it out.

My 6 year old son received Zooreeka for Christmas, and he and his 4 year old sister love to play it with mom and dad. The 6 year old caught on quickly. The 4 year old can lose interest if a game goes long, but generally it is one the whole family has fun playing. The kids really like picking out which habitats to include in their zoo, and they have fun seeing who will win the lucky day piece next. This is great for family game night.
