About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey, dino fans! If you're already a fan of Draftosaurus, get ready to expand your park and your fun with the 2-in-1 Expansion: Marina and Aerial Show. This box brings together two previously separate expansions, making it easier to boost your games. The core idea remains the same: continue building the coolest dinosaur zoo ever, but now with two new species and thematic areas for them.

With the Aerial Show expansion, your park gains a new mountain zone, perfect for the adorable pterodactyls. Each pterodactyl nest you fill offers super useful bonuses, from extra points to immunity from the placement die – which is a real lifesaver, right? The Marina expansion, on the other hand, adds a river area, the ideal habitat for plesiosaurs. They score points at the end of the game, but to make your plesiosaurs swim further and earn more points, you need to be strategic and place other species in your park to unlock the dams.

Both new areas come with double-sided boards, offering different challenges and more replayability. The cool thing is that this expansion doesn't reinvent the Draftosaurus wheel; it simply adds extra flavor, maintaining the fun and accessible essence of the base game. It's the perfect dose of novelty for those who already love the game and want more scoring and planning options. So, ready to add more dinos to your park?
