About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are already a fan of Rolling Realms and feel your parks need a prehistoric touch, the Dinosaur Island Promo Pack is the addition your collection has been waiting for. This set of six promo cards brings all the tension and risk management of the famous theme park building game into the fast-paced roll-and-write mechanics. The twist here is all about balance: you will use dice to either increase your park's security level or add new dinosaurs to your roster. The challenge is constant, as the number of visitors you can attract is strictly tied to your security level. If you get too excited about the dinos and forget to reinforce the fences, disaster is inevitable and your score will plummet. It is a compact experience that demands sharp strategic planning, forcing players to choose between accelerated growth or the stability needed to score those coveted stars. Like all good Rolling Realms content, it fits perfectly into the base game structure, offering a new layer of decisions that will test your ability to adapt to dice results. It is an excellent thematic challenge for those looking to vary their setup and try new ways to optimize their turns. Even though it is only six cards, the impact on the game dynamic is noticeable, bringing that classic 'tight' feeling that anyone who has played Dinosaur Island knows well. If you enjoy quick rounds where every decision can mean the difference between a successful park or a monumental disaster, these cards will earn a place of honor on your table. Get your dice ready, check the fences, and see if you can keep your visitors safe while building the most incredible attraction in history!
