About the game
Tiny Epic Dinosaurs puts you in charge of a dino ranch in a world where humans and dinosaurs coexist. Over six rounds, you'll harvest resources, put ranchers to work acquiring and researching new dinosaur breeds, feed your hungry herd, and breed matching pairs to grow your farm. Careful enclosure planning is key: dinosaurs that go unfed will escape and threaten your other animals. It's a compact worker-placement game packed with clever twists and thematic tension.
Hobbli's Notes
Tiny Epic Dinosaurs squeezes a surprising amount of strategic depth into its small box, with the feeding and enclosure puzzle adding real thematic bite to standard worker placement. The breeding mechanic gives a satisfying sense of growth as your ranch expands each round. It plays well solo and scales nicely to four, making it a flexible choice for game nights of any size. Just be ready for some fiddly resource tracking as your farm grows.
