In Dino Dynasty, players represent dinosaur species from the Cretaceous period that compete in various aspects of survival. With variable game setup, the most important survival traits vary from game to game as each game features a scenario with specific starting conditions and a set of random challenges. The player who then completes the most of these challenges wins! The map, called the territory, is created by the players placing territory tiles. These tiles create biomes that can span several tiles and are based on the ones that existed during the Cretaceous period when the planet looked much different than today. The map is mostly unknown at the start of the game and is gradually revealed as players spread and explore it.Additional map set-ups called scenarios give you more ways to play! You can choose to play in teams or even play several games as a campaign. In addition, a "legendary" part of the game gives players the ability to change between species inside a dynasty and save their current development over several games. This can be used to get suitable dinosaur variants to manage harder scenarios to increase the difficulty level and long-term strategy. It can also be used to get a specific dinosaur or combination of dinosaurs to best counter opponents!In Dino Dynasty, players can explore the fantasy of what could have been while also using the facts and latest known scientific discoveries regarding dinosaur to create and evolve their species. What would have happened if a dinosaur had developed in an evolutionary direction other than it did? These possible changes are still within reasonable limits and are based on the real physical characteristics of the dinosaurs so the learning is as immense as the dinosaurs themselves. -description from the publisher
