Metal coin's, different Dino meeples, so excited, and I'm very glad that you liked it Tom because that gives me hope that I'm going to love it. That's cool that you also consider one of your favorite games of the year, considering how many you play, that's really high praise. Time to break out the Jurassic park soundtrack when we play baby!!!!!

I missed the kickstarter, but am now very interested. Would love to get with different meeples for the dinosaurs though. Great themes deserve great components, and i couldn't get over having triceratops for all the dinosaurs. Hopefully those can be made available sold seperately? Or meeplesource or something? That might be the catalyst for me to buy. Otherwise looks like a fun themed workerplacement game. Love that the board has slots to hold your cubes from moving around (terraforming mars I'm looking at you)

My favorite attractions are Clever Grill and Jurassic Pork. This game is so blatantly Jurassic Park it even has the Dino DNA cartoon dude on the box. Oh and IDK if every copy comes with them, but the Xtreme Edition came with a slap bracelet for the First Player Indicator and a sheet of Pogs...FREAKING POGS. This game hits all the right marks, especially with my 10 year old son.

Expansion idea: Specialist (or something of the sort) that mitigates death penalties... like you can actually have a few attendees get eaten by escaped dinos and not lose points. Lawyer or PR expert or something... be that park where the fact your security is jank and there's some risk is part of the attraction, you appeal to daredevils and stuff.

So the different kind of dinosaur meeples I played with are some kind of kickstarter bonus? Definitely wouldn't want to buy the retail version without those. I usually think that for me the game mechanics are everything. But when a game is this thematic, it really hits the immersion when you are trying to fill out the park with different kinds of dinosaurs that all look like "triceptrfures"...

I really want the deluxe version but there isn't enough in the deluxe version that would deter me from getting the standard version. If I only held out for the best version of a game, Small Worlds would have never graced my presence. Small Worlds Deluxe version is INSANELY huge and over the top.

This game is typical Kickstarter. In a bad sense. Confusing board, ugly graphics - looks like made by 5 different artists, 3 of them colorblind - overcomplicated rules, too much resembling Manhattan project (also typical KS=bad game IMO). I played 3rd version of it, and it was awful. Though I must admit - the biggest turnoff was that weird horrible graphics. Just looking at it hurt my eyes. Game producers - next time do rather black&white version instead of this monstrosity. Yuck!
@TheNazreth4 жыл бұрын
For me, the graphic is spot on. Love the colours and the 90s feel. Though it's mostly present on the box. Component wise - I don't see anything controversial in their graphic design, apart from the pink dinosour meeples (but I guess that is because all of them are females ;) )... but I 3d printed my own set of dino meeples as soon as I got the game - carnivores red, herbivores green :)

Word of advice - find a reviewer that has a similar sense of style/taste to yours, check his reviews of the games that you already own and see if he likes them. That way, you won't be disappointed in the future or surprised by false negative/positive reviews from that person. Simple and effective :)
