About the game
Hold onto your butts! In Jurassic Park: Danger!, one player takes on the role of Isla Nublar's most feared dinosaurs – T-Rex, Dilophosaurus, and Velociraptor – tasked with hunting down the humans who ventured there. Meanwhile, the other players form the survivor team, trying to get the park back online and escape to the helipad before it's too late. Each human eliminated by the dinos returns to play with a brand-new character, maintaining tension and hope for the human team. If enough people manage to escape, the humans win. But if the dinos take down three humans, victory goes to the predators. The game features a modular board with a hexagon grid, where movement is programmed in advance, adding an interesting tactical element. Hand management of cards is crucial for executing actions effectively, for both the dinosaurs and the humans. With variable player powers, each game promises an exciting race against time and prehistoric predators. It's a one-versus-many experience that captures the essence of the classic movie's adrenaline and danger, perfect for fans of dinosaur themes and iconic films.
