À propos du projet

Dinosaur Island is a hot new game from designers 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 amazing, technicolor, ridiculously 90s artwork from Kwanchai Moriya and Peter Wocken.

In Dinosaur Island, players will have to collect DNA, research the DNA sequences of extinct dinosaur species and then combine the ancient DNA in the correct sequence to bring these prehistoric creatures back to life. Dino cooking! All players will compete to build the most thrilling park each season, and then work to attract (and keep alive!) the most guests each season that the park opens.

Do you go big and create a pack of Velociraptors? They'll definitely excite potential guests.. but you better make a large enough enclosure for them. And maybe hire some (read: a lot of) security. Or they WILL break out and start eating your guests—and we all know how that ends… You could play it safe and grow a bunch of herbivores.. but then you aren't going to have the most exciting park in the world (sad face). So maybe buy a roller coaster or two to try and attract guests to your park the good old fashioned way?

When we first played Dinosaur Island we knew we had something extremely special on our hands. We had an accessible worker placement game that mixed some of our favorite gameplay elements rolled up in a theme that is ridiculously fun and perfectly integrated with mechanics. I love games that have simple mechanics that lead to incredibly tense decisions. Like a dice pool as a resource (DNA), set-collection, turn-efficiency, a clever auction mechanic, and extremely tense decisions about where to spend your time and energy? Yes, please! You can also focus on upgrading your laboratory to make dinosaur creation more efficient. But if you do, it means you're spending less time on opening new rides. And the constant pressure to keep your guests safe while still turning a profit every season creates interesting decision making on players. It’s a nail biter, for sure.

Dinosaur Island is a unique worker placement game with a combination of fascinating mechanics that is unlike anything you have ever seen.

SCALABLE GAME LENGTH: One of our favorite aspects of the game is the scalable length mechanism that can change the length of the game from sixty minutes to two and a half hours. Regardless of player count! If you're looking for a shorter game at the end of the night or the main course of a game-night, Dinosaur Island has you taken care of.

We also have a unique mechanic we call the "Plot-Twist". At the beginning of every game two Plot-Twist cards will be dealt out that will break the rules of the game in myriad ways. These rule-changes will drastically alter your strategy and decision making throughout the game. No memorizing the optimal strategy here. Dinosaur Island will keep even the most experienced gamer on their toes each time. In addition to the Plot Twists, the goal cards in each game will be unique, creating a totally different feel to each and every game of Dinosaur Island you play. Familiar mechanics and new strategy welcome you each time you sit at the table.

The Deluxe edition comes with everything you see above plus shiny metal coins, special Spot UV on the box, metallic ink on the box, a special numbered edition, and it will never be reproduced for sale again. This will be your only chance to get your hands on the delectable, chrome Deluxe edition of Dinosaur Island!

There will also be some very special stretch goals as the campaign continues that we hope to add exclusively to the deluxe edition of the game. These include custom components that are too expensive to add to the regular edition of the game—we can’t wait to show them to y’all!

· 74 metal coins (50x1 copper, 24x5 gold!)

· Spot UV printing on the box

· Metallic ink on the box

· Individual Numbering

· Exclusive Stretch Goals throughout the campaign!

Est-ce que je suis le seul a trouver la palette de couleurs un peu bizarre... vert et rose ?!

[Saaman]

J'ai du mal à associer ces jolies couleurs vives et enfantines aux dinosaures... On est loin de Jurrasic Park!

[Simonmjl14]

lol - c'est leur idée d'un concept début des années 90... mais au delà des couleurs, la mécanique du jeu semble intéressante.

Malheureusement, je suis incapable d'aller au delà des couleurs, et je croirais que je ne serai pas le seul. Drôle de choix.

J'ai un peu l'impression de m'être fait voler mon concept...

Tu devrais les actionner. Ça les forcerait peut-être à revoir leur palette de couleur.

[Mikarian]

meme chose pour moi, le look est trop zooloretto style de plus.

 

j'aime le concept mais je vais attendre de voir si changement de look il y aura.

Je pense pas qu'ils vont changer de look, c'était un choix artistique définitif je crois bien

...et ils sont rendus à près de 100K en à peu près 24h sur un objectif de 15K donc je peux pratiquement te garantir que le look ne changera pas... J'ai pledgé pour la version deluxe... j'ai hâte de voir quels autres stretch goals seront proposés...

[Selgador]

Moi aussi pour la deluxe dinomeeple ftw et les pièces en métal

[Jelsépa]

Y a tu quelqu'un qui a backé une version deluxe en surplus? Je serais preneur!
