Paleovet (Absurdist Productions)A new dino-centric board game is arriving next month from Absurdist Productions. In Paleovet, player will take on the roles of veterinarians aiming to save ailing dinosaurs in the ruins of a failed, island based tourist attraction. The game is for one to four players, ages 14+, plays in around 30 to 60 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $44.99 when it arrives February 7th.

About the game:

We’ve brought dinosaurs back to life, but who will care for these magnificent and dangerous beasts?

You are paleo-veterinarians, competing to save as many dinos as possible from modern illnesses and injuries. Roll dice, upgrade your hospital, and compete with fellow paleo-veterinarians to treat injured and sick dinosaurs. As long as the dinosaurs don’t wake up during treatment, nothing can go wrong…

In Paleovet, players take turns drafting dinosaur cards from a central river, rolling dice, and spending dice icons for various effects, most notably curing sick and injured dinosaurs. Each dinosaur card lists which icons are needed to cure it, and effect, victory points, its genetic order, and diet.

Dinosaur effects can occur when the dinosaur appears in the center of the table when it is added to your hospital, or while it remains in your hospital. These effects can change gameplay in a variety of ways.

The world’s first dinosaur park ended in tragedy, but the dinosaurs still roam the abandoned island. Now considered an international treasure, this lost world faces an unanticipated threat: modern microbes. It is up to brave paleo-veterinarians to venture onto the island to study and care for these dangerous creatures.

Expeditions to the island are expensive, so only the most proficient paleo-veterinarian can be named top PaleoVet.
