About the game
Dino Garden is a euro-style board game where each player becomes the owner of a thrilling dinosaur park, aiming to create a dinosaur park that is uniquely their own. Dino Garden is a standalone title in the Aqua Garden series, featuring charming wooden tokens and highly strategic gameplay. Players bring wooden dinosaur tokens from the main board or the wasteland into their personal boards. They must decide where to place each dinosaur, considering limited space in each area, the food chain among species, and environmental features such as volcanoes and lakes. Within the park, a unique ecosystem unfolds. Herbivorous dinosaurs produce meat as generations pass. Zookeepers rush around the park, delivering this meat to carnivorous dinosaurs. Feeding the carnivores efficiently is the key to victory. Players must also pay attention to variable setup milestones. By completing randomly generated milestone objectives, you can earn powerful bonus cards to support your strategy. —description from the publisher
