Get ready to give your prehistoric zoo an upgrade with Draftosaurus: Aerial Show! This expansion introduces majestic pterodactyls to your park, adding a whole new dimension (literally!) to the base game. Now, each player receives an extra double-sided board that fits perfectly with their main park, creating a new mountain zone. Only pterodactyls can inhabit this elevated region, and each nest you build there can grant you incredible bonuses. Think extra points or even special immunity against that pesky placement die! The drafting mechanic remains the same, but with the addition of pterodactyls and the new zone, you'll have even more strategic decisions to make. Is it worth risking a pterodactyl to secure a powerful bonus, or should you focus on other areas of the park? The expansion maintains the simplicity and speed of the original Draftosaurus, making it perfect for those who want to add extra spice without overcomplicating the rules. Guaranteed fun for the whole family, with a touch of aerial adventure!
