Description

Draftosaurus: Aerial Show expands the boundaries of your park and adds a new species to draft: pterodactyls!

This expansion for Draftosaurus adds a double-sided board that each player can combine with their existing park to add a new mountain zone. Pterodactyls are the only dino-meeples that can be placed on this part of the board, and each of their nests offers you a specific bonus in return, ranging from extra points to immunity to the placement die!

Quotes (from this video)
  • this game is incredibly simple but boy is it addictive
  • it's a quick filler
  • Draftasaurus is exactly what you want in a light game
  • if you want a light game that looks fun and is fun you really can't do much better than this
  • the expansions are also fun and add some options without upping the difficulty but they aren't necessary
  • you really can't do much better than this
  • if you don't like dinosaurs you probably aren't the sort of person that plays board games
  • you can add in the two expansions
