About the Game

Shih Tzu is a fast-paced zoo building game that starts out calm and strategic, then gradually introduces chaos. Players compete to build the most prestigious zoo by managing animal diets, habitats, and card synergies, while adapting to twists that can disrupt even well-planned strategies. Twist of Fate cards and the Shih Tzu add unpredictability, rewarding flexibility, timing, and smart decision making. Beneath the approachable rules is meaningful strategic depth, with layered choices, evolving combos, and multiple paths to victory. The artwork brings the animals and their misadventures to life and supports the game’s sense of humour, making the cards easy to read and distinct. Easy to learn but rich to explore, SHIH TZU works as a family friendly gateway game that continues to engage more experienced players over repeated plays.
