Tiny Epic Dinosaurs: Deluxe Edition is the premium version of this futuristic farming game where you breed dinosaurs, fulfill contracts, and compete for territory. The deluxe edition includes the 'Laboratory' mini-expansion, adding strategic layers with genetic experiments. With worker placement and hidden victory points mechanics, each game is a race to build the most profitable Jurassic Park. The charming 'dinomeeples' bring the theme to life, while moderate language dependency (solvable with a homemade translation) doesn’t hinder the fun. Perfect for fans of compact yet deep games.
