Dino Business

Themenpark mit Triceratops & Co

In the near future a dinosaur graveyard is found and Dr. Rex could reconstruct 30 varieties of dinosaurs. At the moment they live in incubators, but their future lies in a dinosaur theme park on an island. Players are “dinosaur investors” who invest capital to resurrect dinosaurs and make them available to the public.

Three regions of the island are connected with bridges and are developed one after the other in so called “acts”. In a round first supplies are made available at the market; then players take turns to either buy an item or a dinosaur tile from the market or get money from the bank or pass. Anytime in your turn you can restore a dinosaur by discarding the necessary items, laying out the tile and marking a free pen on the current island.

A round ends when either all items are sold out or all players have passed. When all pens in the current region are filled, the act for this region ends. All remaining items and dinosaur tiles are taken off the market, all players must return dino tiles they did not manage to restore, but all players keep money and items for the next act. You score points for restored dinosaurs and adjacent pens. When all acts are finished and scored, you can score bonuses for pens on different islands connected by bridges and the total of your restored dinosaurs.

A favorite topic, pretty components and basically simple rules make up the ingredients for a nice family game with resources management and optimum use of the items on offer at the market. The real difficulty could be finding the game, a nice example of Korean games.
