  • cut-based path shaping — Players cut shapes on park cards to form the required path, respecting colors and connections
  • dice-driven turn economy — At the start of a round, a player rolls a die to determine how many cuts they can make and how long they can make them
  • end condition via five completed cuts — The game ends when a player completes all five park cuts on their cards
  • no-undo cut rule — You cannot undo a cut; if you cut something, you must use it or you trample it
  • Pattern Building — Players cut shapes on park cards to form the required path, respecting colors and connections
  • pucks as starting tokens — Two pucks face up at the start of the round on each park sheet

Quotes (from this video)
  • I think that zoo-oo Cracy has the potential to either be a total mess or an intriguing exercise of diplomacy, negotiation and a bit of backstabber.
  • the idea of using scissors as a game component to develop an innovative new mechanism is pretty intriguing
  • Wayfinders joins my list because it's modular design makes it seem highly replayable
