Components
- 10 Plesiosaur meeples
- 5 double-sided Marina boards
Setup
In addition to the usual dinosaurs, add 2 Plesiosaurs per player to the draw bag. Each player gets a Marina board that they put below their Zoo board.
Choose one side for the game (all players use the same side). With this expansion, each player draws and places 7 dinosaurs per round.
Playing Plesiosaurs
When a player decides to place a Plesiosaur, it must be placed in the River on their Zoo board. Plesiosaurs can always be placed no matter what side is rolled with the placement die.
Once a Plesiosaur is in the River, it can move onto the Marina board. The Marina board consists of several sections of River separated by Bridges. When a player places a dinosaur shown on a Bridge in their Zoo, their Plesiosaurs right in front of that Bridge can cross under the Bridge. Only Plesiosaurs can move along the River. Several Plesiosaurs may be moved at the same time if they are on the same segment of the River.
Example: The player puts a T. Rex in their Zoo and can move their two Plesiosaurs to the next segment of the River.
At the end of the game, each Plesiosaur provides victory points based on its position in the River.
Example: In this example, the player earns 9 victory points (2+2+5) for the three Plesiosaurs on their Marina board. The Plesiosaur that stayed on the Zoo board brings in 1 victory point, just like any other dinosaur placed in the River.
One side of the Marina board has a fork in the river after the first Bridge. Players are never required to make their Plesiosaurs cross under Bridges, so they may keep their Plesiosaurs at the fork until they can send them in the direction they prefer.
Two-Player Version
A two-player game is different with this Marina expansion. During setup, put 8 Plesiosaurs in the bag. During the first two rounds, each player draws 8 dinosaurs and places 4 in their Zoo. In the following two rounds, each player draws 6 dinosaurs and places 3 in their Zoo. Each player therefore places a total of 14 dinosaurs.
Playing with Both Expansions
Do the setup for Aerial Show followed by the setup for Marina. During the game, each player draws and places 7 dinosaurs per round. In two-player games, during the first two rounds, the players each draw 8 dinosaurs and place 4 in their Zoos. In the following two rounds, each player draws 6 dinosaurs and places 3 in their Zoo.
