MONDO GAMES UNLEASHES “JURASSIC PARK: THE CHAOS GENE” BOARD GAME FOR 25th
ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORIGINAL DINO BLOCKBUSTER Austin, TX – July 12, 2018 –
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.
