DRAFTOSAURUS - Board Game Review Video
Hello everyone and welcome back to Nerd Shelves, my name is Michael and today we are going to take a look at Draftosaurus, a fun little filler game that lasts between 15 minutes and a half hour, depending on the way you play and how many players and instead of drawing cards or dice, you're actually drawing dinosaurs, so it has a sketch, it has dinosaurs, it has wooden dinosaur meeples, what could be better, let's see how it works, so join me at the table when Let's see Draftosaurus Draftosaurus is played in a total of two rounds with six turns in each round in each turn, players take one of the dinosaurs from their personal group and place it in their zoo, then pass the remaining dinosaurs to the person on the left getting dinosaurs from the right and taking one of those and putting it into your zoo game continues until players have 12 dinosaurs in their zoo, at which point players count their score and The player with the most points has built the greatest dive.
Rse dinosaur zoo and is the winner of the Draftosaurus at the beginning of each round, each player takes six dinosaurs out of the bag and keeps them hidden from other players. The player with the placement die rolls the die that indicates the placement condition for that turn simultaneously, each player chooses one dinosaur from his hand placing it in his personal zoo all Players except the person who threw it must obey the condition imposed by the die when all players who have placed their remaining dinosaur dinosaurs pass to the player on the left and the person with the dead location passes it to the left and the placement die is rolled again each player chooses and places another dinosaur and the game continues in this way until each player has six dinosaurs in his zoo, this ends the first round and the second round begins the second round.
Plays exactly like the first one and ends when each player has 12 dinosaurs in his zoo each zoo contains 6 pens where dinosaurs can be placed and each pen has a unique placement rule that provides victory points on the summer side of the board, the pen Forest of Equality can only contain dinosaurs of the same species and must be filled from left to right right at the end of the game, get It is victory points depending on the number of dinosaurs it contains, the meadow of differences can only contain dinosaurs of different species and must again be filled f From left to right, the Prairie of Love pencil can contain any number of dinosaurs in any species, however, at the end of the game, for each pair of species in the pen you get 5 victory points, the Woody Trio Pen can contain up to 3 dinosaurs of any species the same or different if there are exactly three dinosaurs in this pen at the end of the game you receive 7 victory points, the king of the jungle feather can only hold a dinosaur if at the end of the game your zoo contains more of this species than the rest of your opponents' zoos, you get 7 victory points and finally the island's solitary pen can also only contain one dinosaur and at the end of the game you get seven victory points if this is the only dinosaur of that species in your entire zoo at any time if a player cannot or does not want to put a dinosaur in a pen they can put it in the river, the river gets a victory point for each dinosaur in it and also the red t-rex is a special dinosaur at the end of the game, each of your pens containing at least one t-rex gain If you have an additional victory point, there is also a winter side at your zoo that offers color rules different and slightly more challenging song.
The winter side can be played as a separate game or in combination with the summer side by essentially playing two games and adding the scores together. At the end of two rounds or four rounds if you play the summer and winter variant, the players add up their points according to the placement rules and the player with the most points is the winner of Draftosaurus, so there you have it Draftosaurus now I really really enjoyed this game I really don't have a proper filler set in my collection so Draftosaurus fits my collection very well and it will stay there I was very surprised first of all how easy which was teaching and learning, and also how fast he played, I mean, if you play one side of the game.
Board with a couple of players, it only took us about 15 minutes and that is an absolutely perfect time for a good filler game, you can play on both sides of the board adding up your score, so it takes a little over half an hour maybe 45 minutes, depending on how many players you have, but adding more players doesn't necessarily make the game much longer because everyone is playing simultaneously, so that's another really cool aspect of this game, the other about the font eraser What I really enjoy is that I think anyone can enjoy it.
