Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic Dinosaurs, GSTGLGTEDINORE

A very simple worker placement game, but still with enough options to keep it interesting. As you can imagine being a tiny epic game, you get a LOT of game in this tiny box. The meeples, especially the dinosaur ones are absolutely fantastic and the game box's small size makes it perfect for travel. Just beware that although it's good for transporting, the game does need a surprising amount of table space and there are absolutely tiny meeples that you won't want to lose. Overall a really fun game with a cool theme (who doesn't want to catch and breed dinosaurs to fulfil contracts) an excellent introduction to the worker placement genre for newbies and maybe a perfect companion game for dinosaur island!

Once you have read the instructions/watched a YouTube video on how to play it's a really fun simpleish game to play. Really cute game pieces. It will involve a lot more tactics and thought, the players who are in the game. I really rate it.

A lot of game for a small box, but after 4 games We're altering the rules. 6 rounds and the game is over too quick. We do 8 rounds and it plays much better.

This game is amazing. Tiny box, so easy to store or take with you on holiday. Wonderful gameplay and re playability. Easy rules to get started but complex strategy once you get to grips with it and start trying to get over over on your opponents. Highly recommended. Playing cards and pieces are beautiful.

We love the Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic series and our 8 year old is a huge fan especially of the ITEMeeples and playing with the tiny weapons. We own Tiny Epic Galaxies, Mechs, Quest and now Dinosaurs. Galaxies is a favourite dice based game and has a lot of strategy in a small package, Mechs is a light area control programming game with tiny weapons, Quest is a little more complex with a fantasy theme (and my least favourite rulebook) and Dinosaurs is a charming worker placement game in a small package. We own the heavier game Dinosaur Island which we love but this is really simple to set up and play. Highly recommended and the YouTube how to play video makes it pretty easy. I think that the rule book is also the easiest to follow as well and it doesn't seem to have ny fiddly rules. Recommended and great for travel too.

Pros: good game play with decent strategy and thinking. Plenty of options to choose in this worker placement game. Component quality is decent but has some serious issues ( see cons). Good game length. Good game depth. Would highly recommend you use the expansion for added strategy. Cons: Could they make the text on the cards any smaller! Serious, I know they like tiny but this is taking it to minuscule. The text on the cards is far too small to see properly without straining the eyes. The dinosaurs are too small and could have easily been made bigger. Although there’s good strategy I felt that there was only one main way to gather most points via contracts. It would have benefited if the standard dinosaurs were worth 1 or 2 points more for good end game strategies. I would recommend getting it if you could handle the poor text size and miniature dinosaurs.

It’s tiny, it’s epic, and it’s dinosaurs - What’s not to love 🦖🦕🤓

A caixa é linda e tudo de muita qualidade. Os itens são bem pequenininhos e fáceis de perder.

This game is easy to learn with the tutorial, my 8 year old son was able to navigate it on his own. The wooden pieces are cute and colorful, we like the theme based game and rules to farm the dinosaurs. We had returned the Viking theme game from the same company, only because the theme was too mature and the music in the tutorial was too intense for my child. It was just not a game for us. We are looking forward to purchasing other games boards from the company that are for all ages. It is simple enough and strategic for all ages to enjoy. We like the small packaging and portability.

This is the last game of the tiny epic series I bought. Mainly due to the art, ot felt childish but after getting and plying it, it grew on me. Is a game of worker placement and resource control. You have workers you place to get certain resources such as supplies, meat, plants and barriers. Or you can get dinosaurs. The game is played in a series of six rounds each divided in seven phases. You must carefully plan, specially at the begging of the game as every decision has a heavy impact on how well you will do. The objective is to complete private and public contracts that asks for certain dinosaurs combinations to score victory points. Strategies can be taken further by the use of dna cards that grant you special dinosaurs with special effects or research cards that grant you special effects. Both are worth victory points at the end. The player with most victory points at the end of the six round wins. The hame is highly replaceable and solo mode is very fun and challenging. With various levels of difficulty and the poacher being the hardest in my experience. Is very fun but due that you are planning offers little player interaction. But it does let you mess with others strategy by taking the 1st player token, stealing resources, or blocking them from taking certain actions. Or of you watch carefully you can take the contract they had spen two rounds working to fulfill. But that’s just down right evil 😈. Over all one of my go to for light quick fun game. Solo or many players is still very enjoyable and fulfilling. Portable and quick set up. Perfect for a dad like me who can not bring something like dinosaur island to the table often.

I already like Tiny Epic games. This is probably my favorite. If you can imagine a Jurassic Park game, this is more or less the one you want. Small package, great price, endless fun. What more can you ask for? You build parks and enclosures to house dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are hungry. If you can't feed them, they'll still eat - guess what? - your other dinosaurs! Very well made and lots of fun. If you don't like this game, maybe board games aren't your thing. I look at this game as an example to understand how to make games well. I think anyone who likes board games has to give at least one Tiny Epic game a try, and this is the one I would recommend most. Limited closet space? Desperate for something besides Monopoly, Risk, or Settlers of Catan? Like building games with dire consequences? Think dinosaurs are the least bit cool or interesting? Look no further. My only minor criticism is that some might consider it complex with the different special dinosaurs and some of the rules about how and when to place dinos. Any board game is going to have a learning curve, and this one is small.

The pieces are way TOO Tiny. But the gameplay has good flow and good reminders of the flow. The cards are cleverly themed. Fun.
