About the game
Isla Nublar, the setting for Jurassic Park films, was largely destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Many dinosaurs and some of the research results could not be recovered while people were escaping this disaster. Now in Rückkehr zur Isla Nublar ("Return to Isla Nubar"), a small brave group is trying to save what can be saved. To do this, the players set up new observation posts to secure existing knowledge. The dinosaurs, in turn, are trying to save their own lives and (understandably) they have little leniency for the players' efforts. Players begin the game with an identical deck of 10 action cards, a few equipment crates, and research camps. Over the course of the game, you try to upgrade your deck to gain more resources and new action options. At the same time, you build your research camps on the spaces of the game board and receive points for doing so. How many points you receive depends on the display of scoring cards. This display varies from game to game. Certain spaces are more valuable in some games than in others. Whoever has collected the most points at the end of the game wins.
