Welcome to Dinosaur Island!

Several years ago, scientists discovered a way to clone dinosaurs from viable DNA preserved within the fossil record. After a few mishaps along the way, the process has stabilized. Today, it's the museums that have gone practically extinct, as shrewd investors have turned those initial dinosaur sanctuaries into bustling theme parks, true meccas for dino fans the world over.

In Dinosaur Island, each player takes on the role of a park manager at one of these premier destinations. You've been handed the reins to a burgeoning operation - bring the fantastic creatures of the Jurassic, Triassic, and Cretaceous periods forward into the modern day. Early retirement is yours if you can make your park bigger and better than the competition!

Excellent Quality

This board game was made exceptionally well. From the thick boards to the amber dice, it is clear that a lot of effort went into this game design. Although it took a few plays to really get the hang of it, this game is excellent. It has three different game lengths and thus each game is very unique. We like to put on the Jurassic Park soundtrack, and totally immerse outself! This is a perfect gift for Dino lovers, or anyone who grew up playing Zoo Tycoon. It’s loads of fun, and I highly recommend it!

Superb

Really fun game and mechanics. You basically manage a business operation. Get ready for 1 hour to understand the rules 2 hours or more to play and another 30 minutes to carefully put it away

Soo much game!

A massive game, lots to learn, but once you figure out the game it flows really well. And the single player variant is great as well.

So much fun!

I love that this is compelling enough for two players but diverse enough each time with selecting new game objectives and plot twists. Only downside is you need a ton of space to lay everything out, and also, it does take awhile to play through. Perhaps when we play more, it won't take as long but it was easily 2-3 hours.

Great game, tight fit in box

Great game and very fun! Must have for Jurassic Park fans! Only issue is it's a tight fit in the box. People make inserts but that adds $20+. Cool design and interested in the expansion and 2nd version of the game now.

Hermoso!!

El juego estéticamente está hermoso pero además de eso la jugabilidad es excelente. Todo va muy de acuerdo a la temática del juego de mesa y hace que se sienta como una muy buena experiencia!!

How to play Dinosaur Island

- Tom Vasel, The Dice Tower

The game is really good. It’s one of my favorite games of the year. 

The theme integrates brilliantly with the mechanisms… if you love dinosaurs, if you love worker placement, I suspect you might love Dinosaur Island.

Beyond the stunning '80s artwork, sturdy components, and amazing Mesozoic theme, Dinosaur Island shines in its balance and potential for replayability.

Best Strategy Games to Mix Up Game Night

Having different dinosaurs, businesses and attractions to choose from makes the game endlessly replayable, and it perfectly evokes the classic theme park sims of PC gaming past.

Not only does the game offer a great strategy experience and offer a radical 80s/90s aesthetic, but the dinosaur meeples are the type of thing that people play with before and after the game.
