About this game

Dinosaur World lets you run the theme park humanity was absolutely warned not to build, and it makes you deal with the paperwork first. Each round you draft a résumé card to hire new staff, then spend those workers on public actions to expand your park and acquire dinosaur DNA, and on private actions to quietly improve things behind the scenes. Once the building is done, you hop in a jeep and actually drive around experiencing the wonder, and the danger, you have created. It is a meaty worker placement game with real theme baked into every system, for anyone who has ever wanted to run Jurassic Park and learn exactly why that goes wrong.
