In this episode of How to Play Becca also shows how you’ll get to use iconic characters from the franchise. That includes people like Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, Owen Grady, and more. And all along the way you’ll be building your own park while unlocking new dinosaurs from mystery boxes. They’ll join the four miniature dinos you start the game with. You’ll kick things off with a Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor, Brachiosaurus, and Triceratops. Then, when you’re done you’ll have your own unique endgame designed to be replayed as often as you want.

First announced last year at Gen Con, the game’s Kickstarter launches this month on March 22 for $120. And you won’t just metaphorically be getting a whole lot of game. This is a whopper, weighing in at seven pounds. It also features a unique 1950s art style inspired by the comic books and other media that shaped the Jurassic Park/World franchise. In fact, the only thing it can’t do is guarantee you won’t meet the same fate as everyone else who tried to turn dinosaurs into an attraction. But that’s okay. It’ll be more fun when things go haywire. It always is.
