Board Game Arena

- This is not a weekend excursion.
This is a serious investigation of the stability of the island.
Your investors, whom I represent, are deeply concerned.
48 hours from now, if they're not convinced, I'm not convinced.
I'll shut you down, John.

John : In 48 hours, I'll be accepting your apologies.


An adventure 65 Million years in the making.

And which better team would be able to make it happen?
I'm calling out Antoine Bauza (7 Wonders, Takenoko), Ludovic Maublanc (Mr Jack), Corentin Lebrat & the colorful Mr. Théo Rivière!

Your goal in Draftosaurus is to have the dino park most likely to attract visitors. To do so, you have to draft dino meeples and place them in pens that have some placement restrictions. On each turn, one of the players rolls a die and this adds a constraint to which pens any other player can add their dinosaur.

Winning multiple awards all over the world (and counting), the game has been commended for its qualities: Spiel Des Jahres recommendation, As d'Or nominee, Golden Geek Best Familly Game nominee, etc...

Draftosaurus is a quick and light drafting game in which you don't have a hand of cards that you pass around (after selecting one), but a bunch of dino meeples in the palm of your hand.

It's so simple yet addictive, you should absolutely get your hands onto this. Games last no more than a few minutes, and due to the different boards, there are plenty of game variations.

You can run the whole park from this room, with minimal staff, for up to three days. You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap? You know anybody who can network eight Connection Machines and de-bug two million lines of code for what I bid this job? Because I'd sure as hell like to see them try!
No games without developers: this one was ported to BGA by BoltKey and contains everything you need to play easily on any devices. It has a nice zoom-in/out feature that will allow you to adapt the game to your screen in many ways.
That's a very nice adaptation and we would like to thank him.

Also, we would like to thanks the people of Ankama, and the team of designers: You rule!

And, cherry on the cake : we will have a French stream tonight at 9PM CET(Paris time) with some of the designers and special guests.
If you can speak baguette like i do, let's meet tonight, on the BGA front page

- God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs.
God creates man, man destroys God, man creates dinosaurs.
- Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth.

Love this game! Thanks BGA!!!!

PS: Mr. Flanders is there...

Is the title a Denver reference? I was just telling my kids about that cartoon 2 weeks ago. Taking me back to my childhood BGA.

Loving these movie references! keep them coming!

It took me a while to find Flanders

Thanks for this wonderful and fast game, love it!

The exact reason why i went into these messages Denver!

It's an odd editorial call that the above-the-fold headline and subheading for two current top front page game announcements, even when you hover over them, are just some movie quotes. I've already forgotten what Abyss actually is.

They should have called this game Jurassic World Evolution!

It's a bit cringy how many direct movie quotes are used in this description. It's like you want to get sued by Universal studios.

Lovely fast paced game !!
