The best board games tell a good story, and traditionally that story has always started over again each time you open the game box. Rob Daviau’s Risk Legacy changed that paradigm when it launched in 2011, adding supplemental rules and an evolving narrative that progressed over the course of more than a dozen playthroughs. Its success created an entire genre of board games, with hits ranging from his own Pandemic Legacy Season 1, to the sterling dungeon crawler Gloomhaven, to the charming, reusable Charterstone. a b c d e Cennamo, William (March 20, 2022).

But over the last decade, the best legacy games have all taken popular board games or board game genres and sort of draped a larger storyline on top of them. Design studio Prospero Hall is approaching things from a slightly different angle. It’s next title, Jurassic World: The Legacy of Isla Nublar, will be the first legacy-style board game ever based on a major motion picture — five major motion pictures, to be exact, as it spans the entire Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment film franchise. That leaves developers with plenty of memorable narratives, characters, and critters to go around.

Isla Nublar’s greatest strength is how far it leans into the evolving nature of legacy games. In the first adventure, the board is totally empty. A grid of 18 squares represents the different sectors of the island, there’s a few landmarks like mountains and lakes, and you have a couple predetermined habitats for some dinosaurs, but that’s it. Early on, you’ll start adding structures, roads, and fences to the island, organizing it in a way that’s safe for your dinosaurs, your staff, and eventually, your guests. The transformation the island goes through from adventure to adventure is quite remarkable, and even more impressive, it’s entirely unique to your group. No two Isla Nublars will look the same in the end. You have a lot of control over how you design the island, but as you might expect, there’s a lot that’s outside of your control too.

Can I get an upgrade?” “No,” says the dice. “How about a building?” “Absolutely not.” “Perhaps I can stop this Raptor from eating the guests?” “Think again Mister.” This is compounded by the fact that building and upgrade cards require two consecutive dice rolls to achieve. This draws an unfortunate comparison to Monopoly; in that you can have the best plan in the world and get scuppered by terrible rolls. We have a first hand experience of this when Dom went five whole rounds without achieving a single goal. So what about the gameplay? Fans have been wondering what it will be like since the project was announced in September. Can I get an upgrade?”“No,” says the dice. “How about a building?”“Absolutely not.”“Perhaps I can stop this Raptor from eating the guests?”“Think again Mister.” This is compounded by the fact that building and upgrade cards require two consecutive dice rolls to achieve. Jurassic World: The Legacy of Isla Nublar is an evocative legacy-style board game that harnesses the format astutely. There are areas of the design that stumble, perhaps drastically at times, but if experienced properly with suitable expectations, the journey will prove novel and ultimately satisfying. It’s quite the accomplishment that the mystery and surprises experienced still present as fresh despite the range of legacy games now available. Furthermore, they don’t simply feel unique, but they truly feel like the original Jurassic Park — capturing a feeling and emotion that’s been diminished in the most recent set of films.Before we begin, we would like to make it clear that both Dom & Andy are huge Jurassic Park fans. We loved the original film, most of the follow-ups have been enjoyable too. The PS1 game was actually the moment we both decided gaming was going to be a big part of our lives. The result is a meaty cooperative experience with a confident pace, one that seems to expertly toe the line between the unexpected and the familiar.
