Settle Prehistoric Lands, Expand Your Dinosaur Park, and Attack Opposing Dinos

Dinosaur Table Battles is a game about dinosaurs fighting each other for some reason. As in the original Table Battles game — which apparently is going to be called "Human Table Battles" from now on — players roll dice, then assign them to cards representing their fighting forces. Removing the dice triggers an attack, but that attack might be reacted to — whether absorbed, blocked, or countered — if the opposing player removes dice from a card with a reaction. The trick is that if you can react, you must react, and if you do react, you don't get to attack on your next turn. Mastering tempo is key to your success.


The thing about this game, though, is that it has dinosaurs, and dinosaurs are pretty big guys and gals — so big, in fact, that each dino spans two or three cards, giving them an assortment of attacks, reactions, and rule-breaking special abilities. During set-up, players draft a team of dinosaurs, creating unique synergies to be exploited and disadvantages to be mitigated. There are over 900,000 different matches possible, and while that might not be enough to keep you occupied for 200 million years, it's probably close enough.

In DinoGenics, each player is the head of their own corporation with access to their own private island resort. Each season, players assign agents to the mainland to compete over DNA and other limited resources. Once collected, players can build fences, various park facilities and populate their parks with dinosaurs. Parks with the most prestigious dinosaurs will attract the most visitors — but if dinosaurs are neglected or improperly penned, they will attempt to escape and spread havoc through the entire park.

Use all the tools at your disposal: DNA splice mutant dinosaurs, exploit the black market, or just try to run an honest park, the choices are yours.

Do you have what it takes to lead your corporation to victory?

Controlled Chaos expands upon the foundation laid by DinoGenics and offers new ways to develop your dinosaur park. Several new species enter the genetics pool including five aquatic creatures, each with their own unique traits. New strategic options open up as well with large facilities, specialists and refined DNA.

CINCPAC has gotten reports of activity on Kyoryu Jima, so the US military has landed a reconnaissance force. But the Japanese aren't here at all! It is something much worse...something that threatens all humanity. Dinosaurs! Mad scientists are using Kyoryu Jima as a base for their time machine, bringing prehistoric monsters into the present day. Not content with unleashing this plague, they've gone even farther, training and enhancing the dinosaurs. It's bad enough to fight giant reptiles — fighting drug-crazed giant reptiles is absolutely the worst.


Dinosaur: 1944 is a co-operative strategy game about army men vs. prehistoric monsters. In it, you and up to three other players control brave soldiers in a World War II setting, struggling to save the entire world from the threat of a Mesozoic rebirth. It is in part a battle game as you maneuver around the map and fight the enemy. It is in part tower defense as you place ambushes to help take out or slow down the incoming fiends. Each hero has unique strengths and weaknesses; your victory depends both in mastering your own hero and co-operating with your friends. As the game progresses, you face more numerous foes, and dinosaur bosses enter the field. Eventually, you face the final boss, and defeating her wins the game. If the dinosaurs devastate your base camp, though, you'll be stranded on Kyuryushima, prey to the horrors therein.

Endless Winter: Paleoamericans takes place in North America, around 10,000 BCE. Players guide the development of their tribes across several generations — from nomadic hunter-gatherers to prosperous tribal societies. Over the course of the game, tribes migrate and settle new lands, establish cultural traditions, hunt paleolithic megafauna, and build everlasting megalithic structures.


Endless Winter is a Eurostyle game that combines worker placement and deck building in an innovative way. Each round, players send their tribe members to various action spaces, and pay for the actions by playing cards and spending resources. Tribe cards grant additional labor, while culture cards provide a variety of unique effects. As an alternative, cards can be saved for an end-of-round eclipse phase, when they are simultaneously revealed to determine the new player order, and trigger various bonus actions.

The game features a novel blend of interwoven systems and mechanisms, such as multi-use cards, area influence, tile placement, and set collection. Plus, there are many viable paths to victory. After four brisk rounds, scores are tallied, and the tribe with the most points wins!
