About the game

What you do in a play session

The scientists in Dinosaur World decided to play god and created hybrid dinosaurs nature never dreamed of! The Hybrid Pack introduces three genetically engineered monsters: the Galliraptor (a mix of herbivorous Gallimimus and carnivorous Raptor), the Tyrannaceratops (T-Rex + Triceratops, because why not?), and the Velocidon (Velociraptor meets Pteranodon, because even the skies should fear). Each comes with its own enclosure tile and a special black die that adds extra thrills... or trouble. By rolling the original dice types plus the new die, you score more victory points but also increase the risk of Jurassic-sized disasters. The upside? These versatile mutants help fulfill multiple game objectives at once. Includes 6 dinosaurs (18 colored meeples), 6 park tiles, and 1 die. Perfect for those who want to spice up their Dinosaur World with extra prehistoric chaos!
