The triumph of science that led to dinosaurs returning to the world once more has become public knowledge. New parks spring up regularly, often beginning operations even before everything has been finalized. There is no shortage of patrons eager to be entertained by these returned species in new and exciting ways. However, as with any form of entertainment, elements of triumph are often accompanied by elements of tragedy. This means it is of the utmost importance that you take every precaution by ensuring each visitor signs the safety waiver before enjoying the wonders of Dinosaur World!
Each round in Dinosaur World, you draft a new résumé card to acquire new workers; spend workers to take public actions building your park and acquiring DNA; spend further workers to take private actions improving that park; then drive your jeep around experiencing the wonder and excitement of what you have built! Throughout the game you acquire victory points through a variety of means — and possibly a few visitor deaths as a natural consequence of overly enthusiastic dinosaur encounters. At the end of the game, you lose points if you accumulated too many deaths, then the player with the most points wins!

How to Play?
Each round, you’ll choose a group of Workers from the Worker Database to run your park for a full season. Then you’ll divide up those Workers to take on the various tasks of building and running your Park – gathering ancient DNA, cloning new Dinos, buying new attractions, and keeping your patrons safe from a toothy demise. The better you run your park, the more Victory Points you’ll score!
You might face some visitor deaths along the way, but don’t worry – as long as your park is “safer” than your competitors’, it won’t hurt your score!
Choose a Worker Database card that has a selection of specialized workers you’ll use to take actions each round. By using workers on actions they are skilled in, you’ll get extra bonuses, giving you a leg up on your opponents!
Purchase and install new attractions, dinosaur paddocks, and administrative buildings in your park – all with unique effects and benefits! Watch your park grow and become a true destination for dinosaur aficionados!
Drive your Jeeple through your park and visit the dinosaurs you’ve cloned. Each one will excite your guests, but watch out! Even docile herbivores have a dangerous streak, so make sure all hands and feet stay inside the vehicle… or else!
The more exciting your dinosaur theme park is, the more income you receive at the end of each round! Use that money to purchase even better buildings and create synergy between all your attractions!
