About this game

Tiny Epic Dinosaurs puts you in charge of a ranch where the livestock happens to be prehistoric and occasionally dangerous. Across six tightly packed rounds you harvest resources, breed dinosaurs in growing enclosures, and sell your best stock to theme parks paying top dollar for thrills. Worker placement decides who gets first pick of the good jobs each round, and contracts push you toward specific breeding goals that pay out big if you actually pull them off. True to the Tiny Epic name, it packs a full mid-weight euro's worth of decisions into a small box and a short playtime. Fast to teach, quick to play, and surprisingly cutthroat once everyone realizes there's only one best dinosaur pen to grab.
