I might not have enjoyed it so much if it weren't for the adorable artwork; seeing slightly anthropomorphised dinosaurs in fancy outfits at a high society tea party is just the right kind of silliness for my taste. Along with the theme, one of my favorite aspects of this game is how easily it is scalable for different ages. As much as I enjoy playing the game, what I really find fascinating is watching my kids process information at hand to narrow down a guess. When a player is asked a question, they answer by moving the token that corresponds to the question asked and reflect their answer. Players are dealt a random card showing one of the guests at the tea party and then each person takes a turn at asking the other guests questions to deduce their identity.

We’ve had games where dinos were outed quickly due to quirks like “Always Lies” or “Always Says No”. As mentioned previously, it's no replacement for heavy games like Scythe or Twilight Imperium, but it's a fun game as lighter fare between meals, or when you want to play with younger people. and she answered 'No,' you would flip your 'eating' trait token to the 'no' side and arrange it so that it is pointing at Gina. Additionally, they must answer honestly (unless their dinosaur has one of the three special tiles listed above; more on this in a moment).Always lies,” “Switches answers,” and “Always says ‘NO’” are the three quirks that alter three guest’s answers. Dinosaur Tea Party is a light deduction game where players try to be the first to figure out 3 of the other guests’ names. The revealed guest also discards their dinosaur card and draws another (takes on a new identity) and removes all their revealed trait tokens in front of them. Likewise, you may choose to guess traits of other guests based on which traits your dinosaur has so that when they’re being narrowed down, you know slightly a bit more than others. The attention to detail in the artwork adds to the immersion, enhancing the overall experience of the game.

As each player answers their opponents questions they will place a token in front of them indicating their answer. The reference cards provide a helpful resource for players, ensuring quick access to the necessary information. With 36 taps there’s plenty for the craft beer connoisseur, alongside a variety of other drinks from coffee to cocktails.However, if you choose to play with children under seven, I highly recommend two tweaks: reducing the number of dinosaur tiles, and leaving out the quirks. In the unlikely event of any broken glass we would recommend to leave the broken glass in the box and only extract those bottles that are undamaged. If you haven’t already guessed, we think Dinosaur Tea Party will be a hit with everyone in the family.

When Inquiring, the player will ask another guest something like “pardon me, but are you enjoying cake today?Sure, I probably would have enjoyed the game anyway if it had been illustrations of people instead of dinosaurs, but the whimsical nonsense of the premise added just the right level of interest to the game. As if that’s not enough, our Portobello paradise serves low ‘n’ slow BBQ food across lunch and dinner from our authentic American smoker. The Family Gamers received a complimentary copy of Dinosaur Tea Party that was used for this review.

Second, players will instantly transport themselves to high tea and begin roleplaying with cheeky British accents. The include things such as if the dinosaur is eating or drinking, what they’re wearing, the color of room they’re in, and whether they’re showing a tail, teeth, spikes, spots, or stripes.It’s really fun when traits are narrowed down enough so that you can figure it out because of your own dinosaur traits. There maybe slight differences in colours, text and other presentation but the basic platform of the item will be what you purchased.
