In 2056, a South American medical institute recreated extinct life - forms. Rebranded as DinoGenics IOM, it attracted industry leaders to build dinosaur parks. DinoGenics is a highly thematic and competitive game where each player, as a multi - billion - dollar corporation, tries to build the most successful dinosaur park on their private island. Players take turns deploying workers to collect resources and enhance their parks. After seven rounds, the park with the most victory points wins.
The park needs a good balance of dinosaurs and facilities. Mutants are an easy - to - maintain alternative. Manipulation cards offer powerful abilities but may lead to scandals. Ten years after dinosaurs' re - introduction, the market got oversaturated. Then, IntelliGen Designs partnered with DinoGenics IOM to bring back prehistoric aquatic life.
The Controlled Chaos expansion brings new combos and park types. Double - wide facilities offer bonuses. Specialists can empower other facilities for bonus points. New dinosaur features open up new gameplay styles. New facilities like the Aquarium Hub are added. It also introduces Refined DNA, a new resource.
We're happy to offer this DinoGenics bundle for online purchase at TheGameSteward. A significant part of your spending will back new Kickstarter games. If you have any questions, contact us at The Game Steward.
How to use: Each player starts as the head of a corporation with a private island. In each season, send agents to the mainland to compete for DNA and other resources. Use the collected resources to build fences, park facilities, and place dinosaurs in your park. Try to balance dinosaurs and facilities to attract more visitors and gain victory points. At the end of seven rounds, the park with the most points wins.
Note: If dinosaurs are not well - cared for or penned properly, they may escape and cause chaos in the park. Paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise.
Maintenance advice: Keep the game components in a dry and clean place to avoid damage. When storing, make sure the cards and pieces are organized properly to prevent loss. If you want to try new strategies, refer to the new features in the Controlled Chaos expansion, like using Specialists and Refined DNA.
