Tiny Epic Dinosaurs

Tiny Epic Dinosaurs is a fun and engaging worker placement game with a unique dinosaur-ranching theme. I was initially drawn to the game's adorable art and small size, but I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and strategy involved.

The gameplay is simple to learn, with clear rules and phases that are easily understood. You manage your ranch by acquiring, breeding, and selling dinosaurs while competing with other ranchers for resources and contracts. The constant need to balance your dinosaurs' needs for food and space adds a layer of strategic depth, making each decision impactful.

While the "tiny" aspect of the game is a selling point for portability, it does have some downsides. The components are incredibly small, making them easily lost, especially the dinosaur meeples. Some reviewers even mentioned difficulty reading the cards, particularly the research cards, which can be frustrating. The solo rules also seem to be a bit of a mess, assuming prior experience with the game. Despite these minor inconveniences, I still find Tiny Epic Dinosaurs to be a great game with a lot of replayability.

The game's small size makes it perfect for bringing to game nights or casual gatherings. The quick setup and relatively short playtime make it an excellent choice for a light but engaging game. The theme is engaging, especially for dinosaur enthusiasts, and the game provides a good balance of competition and collaboration.

Overall, I would recommend Tiny Epic Dinosaurs to anyone looking for a fun, portable, and strategic worker placement game. It's a great choice for families, experienced gamers, and anyone who enjoys a challenge with a dash of cuteness. However, be aware of the small components and potentially confusing solo rules if you plan to play solo.
