Dinosaur Island: Solo Setup

[@boardsandstuff5008]

The Dino meeple kills me why all the same? Good thing BBG has an upgrade pack.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I KNOW!!

Really enjoyed your videos on Dinosaur Island! I recently received my copy from the second printing and this video, along with the others, really helped me get through it easily!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

great to hear!! A very fun game with a great theme. Hope you enjoy your copy!

[@reneedouglass5528]

Excellent job on these videos. I’m getting my new game in the mail tomorrow. I’m so excited!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Have fun!!

[@davidko9289]

I'm glad the bonus goals make the beat high score a little more dynamic.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah it certainly helps make this a viable solo option! Still much prefer a winning objective over this, but I still find this enjoyable. Thanks for watching!

[@stevejmc79]

I have my copy coming soon hopefully, so it's nice to see a solo play through. Thanks for doing it. Beautiful components too.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nice Steve! Have fun with the game, it is wonderful, a great competitive game! Thanks for watching!

[@TreyLaCaze]

Love dinos, and worker placement. I'll have to grab it up.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

You won't regret it as long as the color doesn't hurt your head!

[@danielcoleman6685]

This game looks excellent, looking forward to seeing how you get on in this playthrough.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It is SO MUCH FUN! I mean it is much better as a competitive game, but the solo is solid and it means I can build a dino park. What's not to like! Thanks for watching!

[@BoredOnlineBoardOffline]

Nice! Normally this color scheme would hurt my brain but somehow it works for this one! Looking forward to the playthrough.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I couldn't agree with you more!! Usually this scheme would be a turn-off but the gameplay makes up for it and it works in this setting!

[@n0rDopA]

Can't wait for the gameplay. Interested to hear your thoughts on the game as well, this is one I have had my eye on for a while.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Going to start recording first session now! Gameplay is solid, for competitive, for solo I like it but it is a beat your own score. LEt me know what you think when I post the first vid!

[@wendybarlow3177]

The components in this game look amazing! I think you made a great choice with the deluxe version. Can't wait to see the paythrough!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks Wendy!! They certainly are an aquired taste, but those coins are awesome! Loving the game so far. Thanks for watching!

[@TheJamesMReid]

Oh yeah! I'm looking forward to this one!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Can't go wrong with dino's right?!

[@Hybban]

Is that a D20 Tea Pot that I saw ??? You go away for two weeks and crazy things appear ! Happy New Year Colin and Monica.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yes, yes it is Franck!! My wife got it for me for Christmas! So you are back in France now? Happy New Year's to you as well!

[@Hybban]

Back in France and at work. I had about 8 hours of sleep over the last 3 days. I'm spent !

[@OneStopCoopShop]

8 hours in 3 days? Get some toothpicks to hold your eyelids open at work today!!

[@BehindtheBox]

Oh yay I'm looking forward to this one!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

What is not to like about building a dinosaur theme park!!! Thanks for watching!

[@sylvaindelage5742]

Almost back this one but didn't because of the artwork. I'm sensing I will regret it because this seems like a great workers placement game.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It is quite good Sylvain! I love how the different phases work! I should have the first gameplay video up either tonight or tomorrow morning!

[@martintangangco9232]

looks like Dinosaur Island needs a lot of table space

[@OneStopCoopShop]

THAT is an understatement!! :) Thanks for watching!

[@JB-ym4up]

I love your cup, where did you get it?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

My wife got it for me from amazon!! :)

[@Hedgehobbit]

Those components seem strange. Not only does it look like a kid's game (which it clearly is not), but wouldn't a single large board work better than five! small ones?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yes I agree the game's art is an "aquired" taste. Check out the kickstarter page and you will see that they were going for retro 90's feel. Still I agree the number of boards is pretty intense, but it does make it feel verbose, which you would assume would be if you were creating a dino park! Regardless thanks for watching!!

[@charlescarper7344]

I totally slept on this game. Its gathered quite a buzz about it. What are the differences between the kickstarter and the retail version, and is it worth adding to my collection?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hey Charles! So if you really like the dinosaur theme, enjoy a solid worker placement that doesn't have a ton of "new" mechanics but it is set up very nicely then I would say yes. I will be keeping this for sure due to the theme (love the idea of building a dino theme park) and the play is enjoyable even if it is not groundbreaking. Hope that helps!! Oh and there are tons of small differences between retail and kickstarter. Go to this page on bGG for the details!: boardgamegeek.com/thread/1900266/dinosaur-island-faq

[@catlover0000]

Interestingly enough I kick-started another dino based worker placement around the same time this was happening in dinogenics. I think it looks more interesting but that might just be because I bought it. I definitely prefer dinogenics' style, it has little dino meeple.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I hadn't seen this! Looks pretty cool and somewhat comparable. The difference here is this one has solo rules in it. There are dino meeples as well but they are pink here. Regardless thanks for watching!! I do hope you like Dinogenics!!

[@catlover0000]

I could be wrong, but I think dinogenics has solo scenarios, but they may have been exclusive to Kickstarter if they even exist.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh really?!?! You will have to let me know when you get it!

[@manieek]

Pls give us gameplay:)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Will do!!

[@manieek]

One Stop Co-op Shop will wait;)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Blasted having to work so I can pay for games :)

[@baredas]

Do you start with a VIP in solo?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I did, just one VIP for fun since you have 6 hooligans I believe!

[@baredas]

I see....that's a fair point
