Description

Roll-and-write pros, newbies to the genre, and dinosaur fans are all in for a galactic treat with the first ever roll-and-write set in the bustling chaos of Dinosaur Island!

Rawr n' Write packs a full strategy game experience into a roll-and-write package. It's a meaty, delightful romp that players can really dig into.

As players, you'll first draft dice, then use those drafted dice as workers to carry out different actions to make sure your park runs smoothly. Next, a fun polyomino puzzle ensues as you try and fit all your attractions and dinosaurs into the limited space of your park. Just like in Dinosaur Island, you're making dinosaurs, hiring Specialist, and trying to create the best dang dinosaur theme park you can (keeping it moderately safe, at least)

Each game will see different Specialists for hire and different Buildings to construct, making for great replayability!

Contents

  • 1 Rulebook
  • 1 Game Board
  • 2 Park Sheet Pads
  • 1 Dice Bag
  • 10 Dice
  • 20 Building Cards
  • 20 Specialist Cards
  • 10 Solo AI Cards
  • 1 Season Marker
  • 1 First Player Marker
