Jurassic Park Danger

This is a nice family weight, 1 vs many game with excellent theming, easy gameplay, and simple, but solid components. One player plays all the dinosaurs trying to eliminate 3 characters (there is no player elimination). The other player(s) play one or more characters (pick from 10 roles) trying to escape the island. Dr. Alan Grant, or Ellie Sattler, or Ian Malcolm, or even the kids, Tim and Lex. Each has their own goal and special deck of action cards. As the dinosaurs attack, the characters lose cards, until they have none to play, at which point they are eliminated. The player plays a new character. Depending on team size, the human players need to get 2 or more characters with their goals to the helicopter. The humans must first successfully turn on the systems in three locations -- the visitor center (return 2 cards to your hand), the maintenance station (turn on the electric fences), and the control center (lockdown all three locations to keep out dinosaurs). When all three have been activated, the helicopter is called and available for the human players' win condition. This game uses really nice art from the movie, has easy to read cards that look great and cool dinosaur meeples that move around the island. For ~$20, this game is a great value and loads of fun playing either side.

We picked this up by recommendation from a friend. So glad we did!I liked it could be played with 2 player rules but can expand to 5 players. That way we can play as a couple or with our game night pals.The best part of this turned based strategy game was that one player plays the dinosaurs, which really just want to eat the other characters.The other player (or players) play familiar characters from the movie that all have specific skills (like distracting the dinos by screaming and sneaking way, or rescuing your friends, etc). There are two ways to win. The people win if they can get a couple of their group off the island via the helicopter pad (some sacrifices must be made for the better good) or the dinosaurs win by... you guessed it... eating delicious intruders.The game board is random and the characters switch out, which meant that each play was unique so there is a high replay value.We had a blast :)

We had a lot of fun once we figured out how to play. (Not sure if we are still playing totally correctly, but we tried). Pretty complicated with tons of crazy directions, but fun. My son (8) LOVES Jurassic Park so he kept at it, till we figured it out, however, if he wasn't so into Jurassic Park, we would have given up and returned it.

This game is rated 10+ It is slightly complicated until you get the rules down. However after a session or two I had my 8 year old understanding the game and LOVING it. He loves playing as the dinosaurs. It has a lot of small interchangeable pieces that allow for difference game play boards, but can be easily lost if not careful so definitely NOT for little children.However the game is amazing fun for the JP original movie enthusiast. It doesn’t get boring after a dozen plays either!!

I am HUGE fan of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. I have from the books to all the movies, so when I found this board game, I ALMOST DIED happiness. The game is great, easy to play, specially if you are the dinosaurs. Yet definitely, this is a game for real fans of the movies, I played with my sisters, I enjoyed every single of it, but they didn't like it much.

This game has become the butt of all game related jokes. It took half an hour to understand the rules and that was for four adults. We had to consult the rules every turn because nothing made sense. We had to make up rules to fill in holes in the instructions. Oh and nobody wins. Either the person playing as the dinosaurs wins, or everybody else wins. It would be a great way to encourage team work if the rules were a little easier to follow.

The rules were simple enough but there were certain scenarios we came across as we played where we didn’t know how to go about them and we had to look up a couple different videos aside from the one they provided in the rules. The board doesn’t quite fit together all the way but we love the game regardless. Would buy again

This game was just as complicated to figure out as a lot of other reviews pointed out. After a few friendly arguments and some YouTube tutorials however, my friends and I reveled in the glory of hunter-vs-prey and relived our childhoods from the point of view of Dennis Nedry! Would recommend for any fan of Jurassic Park!
