Overview

Description from the designer: Build and manage your own dinosaur park in this strategic roll and write game for 1 or more players. Roll dice, draw pens and try not to let any dinosaurs escape! Each turn players share an expanding dice pool to work through three phases: add dinosaurs and buildings to the park, draw paths connecting attractions to the entrance, and control dinosaurs attempting to escape. The game ends whenever a player runs out of space in their park, or has had too many dinosaurs escape. The player with the most fame from dinosaurs/attractions and the fewest penalties from breakouts is the winner! Welcome To DinoWorld is the official game of GenCant 2017!
