Product Description
This family drafting game will force you to make difficult choices like, "triceratops or diplodocus"? Pick a dinosaur meeple from your hand, place it strategically in a zone on your board so it brings you the most points at the end of the game, and pass the remaining dinosaurs in your hand to your neighbor!
From the manufacturer
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.
Draftosaurus
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. Each turn, one of the players roll a die and this adds a constraint to which pens any other player can add their dinosaur.

It’ll stay in the collection for now but definitely have to space out plays so it doesn’t get stale.
Really great for a quick game to play with kids though!

A highly recommended game for me.
A highly recommended game for me.
During a game of Draftosaurus you play two rounds during which you will draft six dinosaurs. Each turn you select a dinosaur and place it in your park; each pen in your park has specific scoring conditions (collect three of a kind or manage to have only one of a type of dinosaur in your park). The boards are double sided, there is a summer board and winter board (which offers a more challenging experience). A typical game will last between 10 and 15 minutes depending on player count.
I am enamored with Draftosaurus in large part because of how well the theme is integrated into the game overall, but especially the components. I really can't believe what you get based on the price (I paid $22 for mine). I would highly recommend Draftosaurus for families, this would be a great game to play with younger kids, or as a great filler on a game night. Draftosaurus also manages to separate itself from other, lighter drafting games. I am happy to own both Sushi Go Party and now Draftosaurus, there is definitely room in my collection for both (the small box Draftosaurus comes in is also a huge plus).

2 problems: firstly the instructions are in French - no English at all which is not clear in the description (and fortunately I've downloaded the instructions PDF in English on my phone). Secondly, one of the pieces (a yellow dinosaur) is missing - only 9 in the box when opened, not 10.
