About this board game

Duelosaur Island is a hand-management board game for 1–2 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes. Each card offers three distinct possibilities, creating meaningful choices as you develop your dinosaur park.

Cards contain DNA sequences for dinosaurs, attraction blueprints, and actions that can be used when the card is discarded. You must decide how each card best serves your plans: create the dinosaur shown at the top, build the attraction shown at the bottom, or discard it to combine DNA toward creating another dinosaur.

Creating dinosaurs can attract guests to your park, while attractions can provide valuable long-term benefits. Depending on the blueprint, an attraction may increase your hand limit, generate income, or contribute end-game victory points. Every card therefore presents a balance between an immediate opportunity and a useful future upgrade.

  • Create dinosaurs using the DNA sequences on cards.
  • Build attractions from card blueprints.
  • Discard cards to take actions and combine DNA.
  • Use five new full-color DNA dice for additional variability.

Duelosaur Island includes five new full-color DNA dice. These dice can also be mixed and matched with the dice from Dinosaur Island, adding even more variability to both games.

A new security symbol can appear on the dice, allowing you to upgrade your security level instantly. With its flexible cards, dinosaur creation, attraction building, and dice-based DNA system, Duelosaur Island makes every hand a series of important choices.
