Zoominoes is a roguelike deckbuilder in which you place animal tiles on a board and combine them for ever larger scores across a 28-day zoo month. The Daily Run gives everyone the same new seed each day, and only your first attempt goes on the world leaderboard.

About Zoominoes

Zoominoes is by Starlight Games and came out on Steam for Windows on 30 July 2026 after a long public demo, with a Mac version added in September 2026. You run a zoo for a month of 28 days. Each day you play animal tiles from your deck onto a board, and their abilities and the board's spaces combine to score points; reach the day's target to move on. Between days you buy animals, snacks that upgrade them and souvenirs that change the rules, and the scoring is built to grow into the millions and beyond.

There are 20 zookeepers, each with their own starting deck and ability, 218 animals, 35 snacks and 112 souvenirs, plus special event days, eight difficulty levels, an Endless mode and a set of challenges.

The Daily Run uses a new seed each day, with the zookeeper and difficulty picked for you, so every player starts from the same run and competes on a world leaderboard. Updates made it stricter: only your first run counts, the seed is hidden until after you have played, and the last day is a special event where you score as much as you can until your plays run out. A run that goes past midnight no longer counts.

It suits players who like Balatro-style score chasing and want one fair attempt a day against everyone else.

How to play Zoominoes

  1. Buy Zoominoes on Steam and choose the Daily Run.
  2. Play animal tiles from your hand onto the board, placing them so their abilities and board spaces add up.
  3. Reach each day's score target, then spend your money on animals, snacks and souvenirs.
  4. Survive the 28-day month and score as much as you can in the final event.
  5. Finish before midnight and check your place on the world leaderboard.

Tips

  • Only your first daily attempt counts, so learn the zookeepers and animals in normal runs first.
  • Start the Daily Run early enough to finish it before midnight.
  • Build around one animal type or colour rather than buying everything that looks strong.

Questions

Is the Daily Run the same for everyone?

Yes. It is a new seeded run each day that every player competes on for the same world leaderboard.

Can I retry the daily?

Only your first run counts for the leaderboard, and the seed stays hidden until you have played it.

When does the daily end?

At midnight. A run that goes past midnight does not count for the leaderboard; the game does not say which time zone sets midnight.

How long is a run?

A zoo month of 28 days; in the daily, day 28 is a high-score event instead of Endless mode.
