Ravensburger Jurassic Park Danger! Adventure Strategy Board Game for Kids & Adults Age 10 Years Up - Family Games - 2 to 5 Players

Product Information

The implementation of the classic legacy structure reminds me most of Pandemic Legacy. You open new content for each scenario, and progress through an evolving overarching narrative from game to game. New rules are regularly introduced and layered cleverly upon the streamlined core structure. What works rather wonderfully here is the evolution of the park itself. This is the game’s big hook, and what it pulls off most superbly.

Because this is a 'Legacy' game where your actions have permanent consequences, those changes are here to stay We would like to start this review by saying both Andy & Dom are huge fans of Jurassic Park (apart from the third one…) and the magic of the original 1993 film holds a special place for both of us. Having said that, we feel “ Jurassic Park: Danger” sadly fails to capture this magic and bring it to the table.Players in charge of human characters control one character at a time, each has their own special ability and also a victory condition. The humans must collectively reach & activate three facilities on the map: The maintenance shed (which allows the reactivation of the electric fences), the visitors centre (this allows one player to recover lost cards) and the control centre (placing “safe zones” on key locations, stopping dinosaurs from entering.)

Jurassic Park: Danger is a 2-5 player adventure strategy game, produced by Ravensburger and set on Isla Nublar which pits one player controlling the dinosaurs against up to four other players trying to fix the facility and escape the island. The artwork for each character is pulled straight from the movie and helps give each character a distinct feel. However, the generic meeple is a let-down, as are the dinosaur pieces. It seems odd to be able to make a Jurassic Park game but not be able to use the real dinosaurs, especially as every other aspect of the game seems true to the movie. Andy’s Final Thoughts So what about the gameplay? Fans have been wondering what it will be like since the project was announced in September.Of course, we won’t truly know if Jurassic World: The Legacy of Isla Nublar will be a great modern board game until the final product is out in the wild for everyone to play. Ironically, that’s also the same time we’re likely to know if the Jurassic World franchise is a big enough draw to create more fans of modern board games.

Damage is easy in Jurassic Park: Danger, there are no rolls/saves/dodges, if you are in the same space as a dinosaur, you get injured and the dinosaur player “burns” one random card from your hand, unless the T-Rex uses their special ability and takes two. This decision to blend a duality of economic park management with a more micro scenario-based adventure game is nearly the perfect format for this franchise. Funko Games’ Prospero Hall imprint executes it surprisingly well. The campaign allows for the overarching legacy decisions to create minute impacts that reverberate through the comic book adventures. The two formats feed into each other, performance in the narrative adventures affecting subsequent budget allotment. It’s a strong ecosystem that is gratifying to see play out. Jurassic Park: Danger is a game for up to 5 players, but it works better with 4. The board, even with the clever tile system, is not actually big enough to allow for any real strategy as it is only five tiles across at its widest. The tiles would also make a great randomising element, but the four areas the humans must reach are always in the same place. This means both the dinosaur and human players always know where the other is heading, as you can guess this means fox-guarding can become a real issue. We agree that “Turtling” is a legitimate strategy, but it is also very boring.Restoration Games Unmatched series is a reboot of the older game Star Wars Epic Duels. The attraction of the original game was pitting any of the chosen Star Wars characters against each other. Unmatched takes that initial concept and turns it up to 12, allowing you to mix and match characters from various public domain legends and myths and official licensed IPs such as Marvel and now Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs don't kill anyone, unlike in the movie, they just pin them down until the dinosaur is moved away or an escape card is played. a b c d e f g h Aguilar, Matthew (March 24, 2022).
