Draftosaurus

About this board game

Draftosaurus is a quick, light drafting game for 2–5 players, with an approximate play time of 15 minutes. Your goal is to create the dinosaur park most likely to attract visitors.

Each turn, players draft dinosaur meeples and place them in pens within their park. Every pen has its own placement restrictions, so choosing where each dinosaur goes is an important part of building an appealing collection.

Before the other players add their dinosaurs, one player rolls a die. The result adds a constraint that determines which pens those players can use for their dinosaur. This changing restriction shapes the options available during the turn.

• Draft dinosaur meeples from the group in your hand.
• Place each selected dinosaur in a pen with placement restrictions.
• Adapt to the die roll and its constraint on available pens.

Rather than passing a hand of cards around after selecting one, Draftosaurus gives players a bunch of dino meeples to hold in the palm of their hand. This distinctive drafting approach keeps the focus on choosing and placing dinosaurs while making the game quick to play.

With its combination of meeple drafting, restricted placement, and a die that adds a changing constraint each turn, Draftosaurus presents a compact challenge centered on creating the most visitor-attracting dinosaur park.
