Tiny Epic Dinosaurs

In Tiny Epic Dinosaurs, advances in modern science allow dinosaurs and humans to co-exist. This has led to the creation of a lucrative industry. Dinosaur breeding! Independent breeders have started breeding dinosaurs to sell to the highest bidders for use in their thrill-seeking theme parks. You are one of these breeders. Do you have what it takes to outsmart your opponents and run the most successful dinosaur farm? Tiny Epic Dinosaurs is a 45-minute game of dinosaur farming, worker placement and resource management for 1-4 players. It features classic Euro game mechanics with unique twists that depict the dangers of breeding these prehistoric beasts.

In Tiny Epic Dinosaurs, players control a team of ranchers and will acquire, breed and sell dinosaurs. The game is played over 6 rounds. Each round consists of several short phases. In the first phase, players harvest resources from their farm that are not consumed by the dinosaurs. In phase 2, players will put their ranchers to work. In this phase, ranchers compete for and purchase new dinosaurs to breed, improve the security and supply of their farm, compete for the most expensive contracts, and research unique dinosaur technologies and breeds. These unique dinosaur breeds offer a wide variety of special advantages that players can use to set themselves apart from their competitors.

In phase three, the ranchers return to finish their day's work on the farm. In phase four, players set up their ranch, making sure it is suitable for the types of dinosaurs they have. Phase five is the feeding phase, and each dinosaur MUST be fed. Dinosaurs that do not eat will escape, posing a serious threat to the safety of your enclosures and other dinosaurs. Phase 6 is all about breeding. For every matched pair of dinosaurs that you have correctly enclosed, you will welcome a new dinosaur to your farm.

At the end of the game, players will receive victory points for each dinosaur they own, the public and private contracts they have acquired and for their research developments. The player with the most victory points wins the game.
