Crash the party!
Every year the animals at the Miller County Zoo have to watch the zookeepers party all night on New Year's Eve while they're stuck in their enclosures.
Well, not this year.
This year the animals are crashing the party! Penguins, Elephants, Monkeys and Giraffes are determined to get in, while the Lions and Snakes do what they can to ruin the fun.

How it plays
Zoo Year's Eve is a fast-paced bluffing game: 22 cards, 6 zoo animals.
Each player starts with a hand of cards and takes turns sneaking animals into the party by playing them face down. Once you've played a card, everyone else can trust the animal you claim it is, or call your bluff. Get caught and you take an extra card. If nobody calls it, your animal sneaks into the party.
The first player to get rid of all their cards wins.
Once someone older walks through the rules, younger players pick up the bluffing fast, and they're usually better at it than the grown-ups.
