Jurassic Parts (Kickstarter)
20m - 45m
2 - 5 Players
Ages 10+
Jurassic Parts is a small box area enclosure and set collection tile game featuring dinosaur fossils! The game is designed by Kevin Lanzing (Flash Point Fire Rescue) and illustrated by Andrew Bosley (Everdell, Everdell: Pearlbrook, Tapestry, and The River).
Introduction:
WELCOME, PALEONTOLOGISTS!
This is it! The field assignment you’ve been preparing for your entire life!
Over a dozen dinosaur fossils lie buried in a huge slab of rock.
Time and the relentless forces of geology have mixed up the bodies, but that’s a small problem for your team. For now, sharpen your chisels and ready that hammer! It’s time to get cracking and liberate the precious fossils from their rocky tomb. For the good of science (and your own reputation) be sure to claim the biggest and best fossils for yourself!
Jurassic Parts is a game of area control for 2-5 players. All players have access to the
same slab of rock. The goal is to split it apart and claim complete dinosaur
skeletons, the bigger the better!
Who wouldn’t want a Tyrannosaurus rex in their living room…or in a museum, if the price was
right.
Components:
45 Fossil Hex Tiles
10 Plant Hex Tiles
3 Bone Pile Hex Tiles
5 Field Guides
1 Field Leader Board
72 Chisels (12 x 6 Player Colors)
6 Unique Character Boards
20 Pieces of Amber
12 Resource Cards
1 Starting Player Marker
1 Rulebook
How to Play:
Players will take turns placing their sharpened chisels onto lines around the hex tiles, which are laid out in a single slab. Once a section of the slab is broken off from the rest of the rock hex tiles, it is divided up among the players who helped contribute to the break. Broken off tiles are assembled by the players who collected them into various dinosaur fossils, with varying point values. Once all of the tiles have been collected by players, the totals of all the completed fossils are tallied up with the highest score winning!

Purchased with free expansion at Origins 2021. We have had a lot of fun with this! Very enjoyable to collect and put together pieces of dinosaurs. Good player interaction. The "board" changes every game as it is built from randomly shuffled tiles, half right side up, half face down, and due to the varying position of the rocks on the edges of the tiles. Fairly simple rules and the amber pieces are gorgeous!

As a family weight game this is a hit for us. The rules are mostly simple and easy for new players to comprehend; it's set collection from a tile set. The theme works and expresses itself vividly. Art's nice (a bit golden brown but it fits the theme) and the player characters show a nice bit of diversity. Turns are pretty quick and while there is chance in various places, the means to work within the system are so extensive it's easy to mitigate them. Players who like strategy can still feel rewarded playing this. The game time can vary depending on the size of the cuts players are making and how much thinking players put into their turns but it's still a pretty quick game. This is something I can see breaking out at family occasions. It works for light and heavier gamers. Could be considered a "filler" but like I said it can go longer depending on play style. Overall, it's good, and I'd recommend it as worth having.

cute game where you are playing "coop" to accomplish your goals, but in the end you are looking out for your dig of the bones only
