Dino Party Board Game Review

 I have a little girl who is OBSESSED with dinosaurs.  She dreams of becoming a paleontologist when she grows up.  So i'm always on the lookout for dino-themed games!  And we own several.  One of our favorites is Draftosaurus, by Ankama Games. With its adorable, colorful dino meeples, it's definitely a hit!  So when I saw that Ankama had introduced another dinosaur game, I was so excited!  Enter Dino Party



Here's what I love:

1.) Dino meeples! - Dino Party comes with similar, adorable dino meeples, so its immediately a hit!  I mean, seriously!  Dino meeples!  SO STINKING CUTE!!!



2.) Its beautiful! - The game is well made and beautifully designed!  The illustrations on the game boards are really pretty!



3.) The instructions! - I can't stand a game with vague, indecipherable instructions!  Thankfully, Dino Party has pretty clear instructions.  I had a few questions (which I think had more to do with the fact that I was reading the instructions after a long day - and being continually interrupted by 3 kids - than the actual instructions), but I watched this instructional video and it really helped clarify!

4.) It's easy enough for small children to play! - My youngest always gets a bit frustrated - or feels a bit left out - when we play a highly strategic game, so playing something that has simple rules helps her be included!  And the fact that you can play this game while standing up/moving around helps wiggle worms stay interested!  

5.) It plays up to 6 people! - As I've mentioned before, we're a family of 5.  So finding games that can play more than 4 people is crucial to our family game nights.  Dino Party fits that bill perfectly!

I received these games, free of charge, from Luma Games and Ankama,in exchange for my honest review.
