What it is

Dinosaurs got cloned, and someone thought it’d be a good idea to open a zoo with them. You draw six dinosaurs from the bag, place one in your enclosures, and pass the rest to your neighbor. Every enclosure scores differently: two alike, all different, just one.

Draftosaurus, what it is

How it plays

The die passes hands every turn and tells everyone where they’re forced to place: forest only, right of the river only, empty enclosure only. Fifteen minutes and you’re done, and you usually go straight into another round.

Draftosaurus, how it plays

The nugget

Barely fifteen minutes a game, three minutes to explain it. If you want, you can play it double: one game on the summer board and one on the winter board, adding up the scores. @ghenosgames brings it out in Italian.

At our table

A hundred and two games on our table: it’s the filler we pull out whenever there’s a gap to fill.

What’s your favorite filler game?

The short game that fills the gap: before the pizza arrives, or the last one before bed.
