About the game
What you do in a play session
But beware! Nature is unpredictable. Fierce competition between species and constant geological changes can cause mass extinctions, opening up space for new life forms to emerge and evolve. With over 120 cards beautifully illustrated by artist Sergey Krasovskiy, each game promises a unique experience. At the end of three distinct periods (lasting 7, 6, and 5 rounds respectively), players tally points for their played cards, personal objectives, and common goals. The player with the highest score is crowned the master of Mesozoic ecosystems!
"Lands of the Mesozoic" is a card game featuring hand management, set collection, and open drafting mechanics, perfect for those who enjoy themes of animals, prehistory, and ecology. It offers a robust solo mode and an experience that can range from 20 to 120 minutes, with moderate complexity (weight 2.3/5). The game's artwork is a standout feature, adding immersion and beauty to your table. Get ready to build your own Jurassic world!
