Draftosaurus: Goodie Tile is an expansion for Draftosaurus released in 2020 for 2–5 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Set Collection, Dice Rolling, and Simultaneous Action Selection.
5 tiles designed to cover one Pen in each player's Zoo. At the start of the game, each player puts their new Pen in their Zoo on top of another Pen. Summer Side: Put the tile on "The Woody Trio." Winter Side: Put the tile on "The Lookout." The new Pen is played as follows: Summer Side: You can put as many dinosaurs as you like in it. But watch out! Each new dinosaur must be stacked on top of the previous one (only the first may touch the ground). This way, you build a pile of dinosaurs that gets more and more precarious. If the pile collapses, all of the fallen dinosaurs are placed in the River. At the end of the game, each dinosaur in the pile is worth 3 victory points. Important: Laying dinosaurs on their sides in this Pen is, of course, forbidden. Winter Side: You can put 2 different dinosaurs in this Pen. At the end of the game, each Pen in your Zoo that contains these two species of dinosaurs (including this Pen) earns you 3 additional victory points.
