About the game
Description from the designer: Build and manage your own dinosaur park in this strategic roll and write game for 1 or more players. Roll dice, draw pens and try not to let any dinosaurs escape! Each turn players share an expanding dice pool to work through three phases: add dinosaurs and buildings to the park, draw paths connecting attractions to the entrance, and control dinosaurs attempting to escape. The game ends whenever a player runs out of space in their park, or has had too many dinosaurs escape. The player with the most fame from dinosaurs/attractions and the fewest penalties from breakouts is the winner! Welcome To DinoWorld is the official game of GenCant 2017!

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Welcome to Dino World for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
