In Jurassic Parts, you play as paleontologists breaking apart a slab of rock containing mixed dinosaur fossils. You place chisels to split the area and claim complete dinosaur skeletons. The challenge lies in controlling the largest and most valuable fossils by contributing to breaking off sections. Area control determines how the fossils are divided among players.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for players aged 14 and up, Jurassic Parts is a medium-complexity game ideal for those who enjoy strategy and collection mechanics. With a playtime around 45 minutes, it suits players familiar with area majority or set collection games, but newcomers can learn quickly.
How It Works
The core mechanics are Area Majority, Enclosure, and Set Collection. Players take turns placing chisels on lines between hex tiles to break off sections of the rock slab. These broken sections are distributed among players who helped break them. Players then assemble the collected fossil tiles into dinosaur skeletons, scoring points based on their completeness.
