Funko games have recently broken up their games department and sold it off, so it's possible that could affect their game prices and availability, but for now this is a really good price on a legacy board game.

    I don't get why all the Jurassic park games are so complex. I've got the funko pop one but its too complicated to play with the kids so end just throwing the amber on the mat and then rolling the dice to see who can collect them the fastest.

    Interesting point. Traditionally a lot of board games based on franchise intellectual property like Jurassic Park would just be "roll and move" games with a brand slapped on it. Probably great for kids, so you'd be forgiven for thinking this might be a family game.

    However, over the last decade or two, board gaming has entered a modern era where tabletop gamers expect more from a game, and they'd pay a significant amount of money for it (see the £100 RRP on the game above). Propsero Hall, the studio that created the Funkoverse game you're referring to, and the one listed above, are almost solely responsible for redefining IP-based games as more than just cash-grabs (See Goonies Never Say Die, Back to the Future : Back in time, Indiana Jones, Horrified, Villainous)

    That's not to say this isn't a game you can play with kids, but it's definitely not 'the game of life'. Sessions in this game last up to two hours, and the story develops over 12-24 games, after which you've consumed the game.

    If you want to get kids into some dino board games, I'd look at Draftasaurus, Dinosaur Tea Party, or Happy Little Dinosaurs

    And for anyone looking for non-dino recommendations - Ticket To Ride, Sushi Go, Kingdomino, Dixit, Downforce, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, Memoarrr!...

    Great price indeed, next best is approx £90. Not bought/played it, I am still trying to get my frugal mind around paying that much for a game that is not endlessly playable!

    I paid £75 from Zatu a few weeks ago, which was the cheapest at the time. So this is a good price.
    I only played the tutorial so far but I can confirm that the art work is very good, the miniatures pretty cool and the gameplay seems ok - however, I also read that it is better to play with a smaller group (one or two players) due to the limited number of actions available each turn (the more players, the fewer actions each can take) - therefore, for people that plan to play with their kids, say three, or four player count, then it might not be that great.
