Carnotaurus sastrei
Carnotaurus was a fast, horned predator that lived about 70 million years ago in what is now South America. Fossils show it had unusually tiny forelimbs, even smaller than T-Rex! However its powerful hind legs were long and built for speed. The distinctive horns above its eyes make it a very unique and amazing looking predator.
Carnotaurus is just one of over a 120 different dinosaurs you can find in the board game: Empire of the Dinosaurs. (Sign up link in the profile.)

Say hello to Gigantspinosaurus!– one of the lesser-known but totally fascinating stegosaurs from the Late Jurassic!

Discovered in China, this herbivore had some seriously oversized shoulder spines, thus the name. While its back plates were relatively small, those giant shoulder spikes were likely for display or defense (or both!). Just imagine flexing those in a Jurassic showdown !

While not as famous as its relatives, Gigantspinosaurus was just as cool in its own spiky way.

Add Gigantspinosaurus to your ranks and rule the prehistoric world in Empire of the Dinosaurs!

I’ve started a BGG blog about the Empire of the Dinosaurs, game design journey. (Link in the profile.)
This first post is asking the question, why aren’t there more games that let players actually be dinosaurs?
That question led me to some interesting realizations about how dinosaur board games tend to fall into certain categories, which got me thinking about why I’m trying to take a different approach.
