## Description
Ever dreamed of building your own Jurassic Park, but without the total chaos where everything explodes? In Mesozooic, you take on the role of a prehistoric zoo director, and the mission is simple: create the most impressive park in the region. But hold on, the simplicity ends there, because this game is pure adrenaline! Unlike most strategy games, everything here happens in real-time. This means you'll be fighting against the clock to organize your cards while your opponents do the same.

The game is divided into rounds where you first draft the cards—picking the best attractions, fences, and infrastructure—and then enter the frantic assembly phase. You'll need to fit enclosures for herbivores and carnivores, connect monorail lines so visitors can get around, and, of course, ensure the attractions are properly maintained. If you forget the maintenance truck next to an attraction, it won't score. It's a spatial puzzle where haste is both your worst enemy and your best ally.

The charm of the game lies in the tension of trying to plan the best layout while the clock is ticking. You want that giant T-Rex? Great, but where does it fit? And how do you connect the monorail without blocking the aquarium entrance? The dynamic is fast, colorful, and creates that 'I'm doing everything wrong, but I'm doing it fast!' vibe, making the experience hilarious and competitive. It's the perfect game for those who want something light but that requires quick thinking and motor coordination under pressure. Get ready to organize your zoo, manage tourist flow, and hope your dinosaurs stay quietly behind the glass!

## FAQ

Not at all! The rules are quite simple; the challenge isn't in the rulebook, but in the agility needed to build the zoo in time.

### How long does a game last?
It's very fast. In about 20 to 30 minutes, you'll already know who the best zoo director is.

### Is it suitable for children?
Yes, it's great for kids who can organize cards, as the dinosaur theme and the rush are usually a big hit.

### Is it a deep strategy game?
