If you hung around your local zoo after it closed for the night, you’d see the nighttime rituals of the exotic animals you visited during the day. You’d see cages being cleaned and souvenir stands being restocked. If you were lucky, you might catch an impromptu seal show or moonlight nightingale concert.
And if you stayed late enough, long after the last employee had left for the night, you just might see the greatest, and most secret, of all zoo attractions—the late-night Kung Fu fights!
Welcome to Kung Fu Zoo!
Kung Fu Zoo is a dice-flicking dexterity game for 2-4 players. You control a team of highly-trained animals, from crocodiles to zebras, in a Kung Fu battle against your rivals. Who will be tonight’s champions of the zoo? Grab some dice and find out!
In Kung Fu Zoo, players use six-sided animal dice to do battle in an enclosed arena. There are two gameplay variants: Cage Battle and Points Match. In either variant, players start with a team of dice-animals. But the similarities stop there. In a Cage Battle, players take turns flicking their animals into the arena. Your goal is to knock your opponent’s animals onto their backs (stunning them) or through holes on the board (the “cages”). You win the match when all of your opponent’s animals are stunned or in cages. The first player to win three matches wins! In a Points Match, players take turns flicking their animals into the arena. Your goal is to score 21 points before your opponent. Points are awarded at the end of each round, based upon the position of your dice that are left on the board.

It's an amazing game and one that has gone down well with everyone I've played it with (even non-flickers). The dice in this game are fantastic and seem to have a life of their own. There is just enough agency (or at least you think you have) when flicking to believe you can do a perfect shot which many times you can, but also many times you mess up but can't help but laugh when it all goes terribly wrong. Just an out-and-out super fun game. I own a Muzzies crokinole board, Pitch Car, Cube Quest and a bunch of other flicky games, but this one is up there with them all. Anyone that's not smiling their head off when playing this game is just a big ol' grumpuss.

Played this at GenCon and thoroughly enjoyed it as a small, easily set-up dexterity game. In addition, the wooden board and lazy-larry spinner on the board were very well made and presented.

Fun game. At first it seems like a family game but I can’t sfop playing it with my friends! The ability is eh though. I would never pay MSRP for the game also.
