About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, fellow gamers! Ready for a Jurassic adventure that's about to make history? In Jurassic World: The Legacy of Isla Nublar, you and your friends step into the shoes of visionaries, scientists, and park personnel – think Hammond, Malcolm, Sattler, and Wu – tasked with building the most incredible dinosaur park the world has ever seen. Your mission: transform Isla Nublar into an astonishing paradise where awe-struck visitors encounter creatures previously only imagined!

You'll be making crucial decisions on where to build park facilities, dinosaur enclosures, and guest attractions, all while trying to keep everyone safe from the hungry T-Rex, the colossal Brachiosaurus, and the cunning Velociraptors. The game unfolds across twelve epic adventures, where every choice you make uniquely shapes the game board and even leads to the creation of new dinosaur species that cannot be undone. As a legacy game, your decisions will have a real and lasting impact, forging *your* very own Isla Nublar story. When all is said and done, you'll be left with a completely customized game, ready for endless replayability. Just a heads-up though: this game requires a significant amount of translation to be fully playable in other languages, so be prepared for some adaptation work before the fun truly begins!
