About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a fan of Dinosaur Island, get ready to dive even deeper (and maybe a bit wetter) into this prehistoric chaos! The Totally Liquid expansion isn't just a 'plus'; it's the upgrade that turns managing a dinosaur park into something much more dynamic and complex. First off, it solves a common request: you can now invite up to five friends to the madness, expanding the player count beyond the base game.

But the real fun kicks off with the arrival of aquatic dinosaurs. Yes, your park can now host swimming creatures, adding a whole new layer of ecosystem management. To help with the grind, the expansion introduces 'Executive Workers.' These special meeples aren't just for show; they grant unique abilities to each player, allowing for much deeper strategic customization.

Furthermore, the game features new parkboard extensions to accommodate growth, and a 'Blueprints' module that will definitely put your engineering brain to work. If you manage to build specific park layouts, you'll be rewarded, adding a very satisfying spatial planning element. And for those who love a good surprise (or a sudden twist), the PR (Public Relations) events create hidden scoring opportunities, ensuring no one knows who's truly leading until the very last second. It's the kind of content that adds strategic depth without losing that 'mad scientist' essence we all love. Just a heads-up: you'll definitely need the base game to make this water flow!
