Dinosaur World is a worker placement strategy game for 2-4 players where you are trying to open up a new Jurassic style amusement park before your competitors. However, you have not exactly safety-tested your park and you still need to hire people to gather DNA, clone new dinosaurs, and design new attractions.
Now that the scientific triumph of Dinosaur cloning is public knowledge, competition is hot and new parks spring up regularly. Though many of these amateurs are opening their gates before everything has been safety-tested, there's no shortage of patrons eager to be entertained by extinct behemoths!
As with any form of entertainment, triumph is often accompanied by tragedy - which is why your investors demand that you take every precaution (and ensure every visitor signs the safety waiver) before you show them the wonders of Dinosaur World!
- Draft a group of Workers from the Worker Database to run your park
- Divide up those Workers to take on the various tasks of building and running your Park
- Gather ancient DNA
- Clone new Dinos
- Buying new attractions
- Keeping your patrons safe from a toothy demise... (mostly)
- Run your park well and score Victory Points!
You might face some visitor deaths along the way, but don't worry - as long as your park is "safer" than your competitors', it won't hurt your score!
The art and design on this game is fantastic, there is even a beginner variant version of the rules to get you started!
