Ulaya Chronicles: Raptor Claw Island is a board game released in 2021 for 1–4 players, 60–150 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by James Baldwin and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Die Icon Resolution.
A solo/cooperative skirmish scale miniatures game set in a land of dinosaur infested jungles and ancient technology. Played over a series of interconnected games, Ulaya Chronicles is a story based campaign experience. Make important choices which effect the narrative, steer the combat style of your character, and reveal a mysterious plot which you, the players, must unravel. A solo or cooperative experience, Ulaya Chronicles features a card driven AI system. Each type of enemy (mostly dinosaurs!) have unique behaviours and personalities. Each enemy type is a different tactical puzzle to solve, and ensure every play through is a different experience. —description from the publisher
