Tiny Epic Dinosaurs

Players run dinosaur ranches in a near-future setting where revived dinosaurs are farmed and sold to theme parks. Each player manages a small crew of ranchers and takes actions over six rounds: harvest resources, assign ranchers to wrangle or buy dinosaurs, upgrade security and supplies, pursue contracts and research, then return to the farm. Players arrange enclosures, must feed every dinosaur each round to avoid escapes, and breed matching pairs to grow their stock. Victory points come from owned dinosaurs, completed contracts, and research developments; the highest score after six rounds wins.

Very nice twist on the worker placement mechanic with the ranch, dinosaurs to feed, escaping, etc. I enjoyed it a bit more than TE Galaxies! Kudos for the nice production in such a tiny package. Such a wide variety of dinosaur shapes in such small meeples... wow!
