Description
"You're looking well, darling. One lump or two?"
It's the most sought-after invitation of the year: Dinoton Abbey for high tea. Now you're all gussied up in your finery and ready for some tea and chit-chat. One problem: You can't remember anyone's name. Who's that, sporting the fancy brooch with her pet chicken? Is that Jeannine? Beatriz? Oh, dear. If you're not careful, you'll commit a faux pas everyone will be gossiping about.
Dinosaur Tea Party is a game of pure deduction for 3-5 homo sapiens. Each player takes a card corresponding to one of the dino guests. Players take turns asking each other questions or guessing their dinosaur's name. If someone guesses your name, draw a new card. The first player to guess three names wins.

Quotes (from this video)
- the combat with the cards was honestly one of the best combat mechanics I've played in the game in a long time
- once those marbles start rolling I don't want to say anything can happen but you start to wonder like what if this hops to the left there hops to the right it's like a buzzer-beater shot is like watching a long putt or a roulette wheel or a miniature golf course you're just sort of fascinated at what the physics could potentially do
- the concept is that the players are sort of the they get the VIPs who've won the golden ticket to get there for the soft open and be the first to experience the latest in adventure tourism and of course they have to sign their User Agreement with the waiver of liability and also requires them to make sure they take snapshots across the island for their social media feed but they're free to keep any treasure they might happen to find
