MONDO GAMES UNLEASHES
“JURASSIC PARK: THE CHAOS GENE”
BOARD GAME FOR 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORIGINAL DINO BLOCKBUSTER
Celebrating 25 years of dinosaur chaos with the anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s unequalled Jurassic Park, Mondo Games is excited to unveil their next board game, “Jurassic Park: The Chaos Gene.” As with the highly successful board game for The Thing,
movie fans and board game enthusiasts can expect exciting gameplay and
gorgeous artwork, featuring the immensely talented artist Matthew
Woodson. The game will be available online at MondoTees.com and in
stores everywhere this Fall. The box top will be on display at Mondo’s
booth at San Diego Comic-Con (#435), and attendees will have the
opportunity to get a special Jurassic Park patch when visiting the booth.
If
the great John Hammond taught us anything it would be to never stop
asking, “what if?” What if we could clone an extinct species using
preserved genetic material? What if there existed a source of fossilized
dinosaur DNA buried deep below the earth’s surface? What if dinosaurs
roamed the earth again? Here at Mondo Games we asked ourselves these
very same questions. Using state-of-the-art tabletop technology our
leading game scientist, Luke Byers, has created the ultimate gaming
adventure.
“In
our approach to “Jurassic Park: The Chaos Gene”, we took many of our
favorite elements of a traditional dungeon crawl style board game and
spliced them with one of our favorite films of all time. The goal was to
create something truly unique and incredibly fun to play” said Byers.
Taking
an asymmetrical approach to the game’s playable characters and
factions, “Jurassic Park: The Chaos Gene” is a 2-4 player adventure of
varying strategies, objectives, and perspectives. Through a
scenario-based system the game becomes a truly chaotic mix of modern
humans and prehistoric beasts.
While
exploration of the park is at the core of each player’s motivation, the
means by which separate factions achieve their goals couldn’t be more
different. Whether working in the field of science as the head of InGen
to maintain the stability of the park’s infrastructure or running
terrified as invited guests of John Hammond, the humans use their
abilities, specializations and resources to reach their objectives.
The
quick, lethal and stealth-like Raptor faction proves that humans are
not the only animals that utilize their intellect and communication
skills to solve the many movement challenges the park presents. The
fast, gigantic and formidable Tyrannosaurus Rex poses a constant threat
to all of the players. Driven by her base instincts, her objectives are
the most straight forward... EAT!
“With
some of the most beautiful art in gaming today by the immensely
talented Matthew Woodson, we hope this game ‘...finds a way’ on tables
of gamers and Jurassic Park fans alike for millions of years to come,” said Byers.
GAME DESCRIPTION
“Jurassic
Park: The Chaos Gene” is a 2 to 4 player asymmetrical miniatures board
game, for age 14 and up. Choose your faction from the following: InGen,
Park Visitors, Raptors or the T. rex. Find items needed for your
faction, attack or avoid other dinosaurs, gain experience and customize
your faction. With several scenarios and modular environment tiles for
players to explore, each faction has unique objectives to complete in an
effort to win the game!
FACTION DESCRIPTIONS
Tyrannosaurus Rex: Instinct Objectives
Quick,
methodical, and unstoppable best describe the T. rex faction. One thing
she is not, though, is quiet. The T. rex’s unrelenting drive makes her
highly focused on satisfying her natural instincts... at all costs.
The
T. rex can move twice as fast as the other factions and can affect the
movement of the other players with her fearsome roar, all while
completing her objectives.
Raptors: Seek and Destroy Objectives
The
Raptors are a cunning, resourceful, and flexible faction. Their stealth
allows them to move quickly and quietly. Unique from all other park
dinosaurs, their communication abilities enable them to work together in
defending areas in their control, triangulate attacks on humans and
park animals, and discover weaknesses in the park's defenses.
Park Visitors: Survival Objectives
Park
Visitors are both in awe of the park and terrified by its destructive
nature. Visitors are able to extract the resources they find and use
them to complete objective requirements or activate more powerful
faction abilities. Highly skilled in their respective fields, each
character brings a unique ability to the group as they make their way
through the park and accomplish objectives.
Ingen: Park Management Objectives
With
systems crashing throughout the park, InGen is desperate to keep it
functioning. Somewhat blind to the park’s status, their intimate
knowledge of it makes them both helpful and dangerous to dinosaurs and
humans alike. A successful InGen player must carefully manage resources
and use their unique abilities to help shape the movements of other
players.
