It is one of my favorites of 2017 and one I will continue to get to the table to teach new players every chance I get.рџЋ¶ Familiar yet altered music plays рџЋ¶ Welcome to Dinosaur Island! The Jurassic era themed park that is 100% legally distinct from any existing intellectual property! Visit to see our real, live dinosaurs brought to life by science. I cannot say enough good things about this game. The вЂњPlot TwistвЂќ cards give another extra twist, making the variety of games you play almost limitless with the goals that vary as well The variety of вЂњEnd-GameвЂќ cards and the fact that they ramp up and down in length of game is great, giving variety along with the ability to manage the time of the game The rulebook and direction for the game works well, allowing you to jump right in The repetitive style of phases 1-5 allows for a new player to grasp the game quicker than they might if it was more open ended

The art, style and design is exactly what fits the movie it is a loving tribute to and it shows in many ways The deluxe edition makes it even more so, but the retail copy is no slouch either Experience is a big advantage in this game (but often is in most games) Those unfamiliar with worker placement style game play may struggle with this type of game Definitely a learning curve for new players These are the impressions we got playing with the people we love: It has been widely popular across all players-as young as 11 have done well and enjoyed the theme and gameplay. I have been able to get this to the table a number of times with 2, 3 and 4 players of a variety of gaming experience and ages. The gameplay allows for both worker placement and building to occur-your goals shift game to game, so it is important to find the best strategy for the current game you are in.

Gameplay follows five phases, progressing you through the acquisition of dino DNA and dino recipes, the Marketplace allowing you to upgrade your lab or park, the lab phase where you will build dinos, add security and make park adjustments and the final phase where you open the doors for meeples to come in and spend their hard earned dollars. The medium games seem to be the sweet spot, it allows you to track the steps along well in the stages and grow your park. I would recommend short games for new players or games to play less than 60 mins, medium for 60-120 mins and long games for 120 mins+. There are initial вЂњEnd-GameвЂќ cards that you can select to change the game from either a short, medium or long game. The gameplay for Dinosaur Island takes place over 5 stages and continues on through the game. If you donвЂ™t, they might be lunch for your dinos! You need to attract more visitors with more exciting dinos, but by doing so you raise your threat level and need to balance it with the right security to match it and keep your patrons safe. In a simple breakdown, the goal of this game is to acquire the right Dino DNA to build dinosaurs and buy attractions for your theme park. They have to be half the weight of the game alone! The meeples and extra variety of dinosaurs are so cool also-they make up that extra bit of theme and unique extra that really help the game to shine. The metal coins are amazing-they are incredibly thick and work so well for the game. I have to be honest, the Deluxe edition was more than worth the upgrade. I have seen both and own the Deluxe edition.

Today I will review the Kickstarter edition of the game, which includes extras that the retail copy did not include. The game is designed to be played with 1-4 players with special rules and cards that are separate for solo play. Have you ever watched a movie and wanted to live that theme? Maybe a Superhero movie, or an Action Adventure? Something scary? Something suspenseful? How about all of those combined? Well Pandasaurus Games has done that in the game вЂњDinosaur IslandвЂќ!Дinosaur Island is designed by Jon Gilmour (Dead of Winter, Wasteland Express Delivery Service) and Brian Lewis (Titans of Industry) from Pandasaurus Games (Machi Koro, Yedo, Wasteland Express Delivery Service) with artwork from Kwanchai Moriya and Peter Wocken. Hello Board game fans! Today I will be reviewing one of my favorite games of 20 17, a game fast moving to the top of the rotation in our household.
