Draftosaurus

Draftosaurus

Draftosaurus is a clever drafting game where you're passing wooden dinosaur meeples around the table and trying to place them strategically in your personal dino park. Each pen in your park has its own scoring rule, so figuring out which dinosaur goes where — and when to grab the one you need versus what you're forced to pass along — creates a satisfying puzzle every round.

It's quick, tactile, and has a great feel to it. The wooden dino pieces are delightful, the decisions are snappy, and the whole game is done in about 20 minutes.

🎲 What We Think at WiredVillage

We like this one. Passing the dinosaurs around as a draft and then figuring out where to place them feels genuinely clever — there's always that moment of "do I take this or hope it comes back around?" The placement puzzle on your own board keeps you engaged even when it's not your turn. A really satisfying little game.
