My non-palaeontologically-inclined fiance bought it at SVP to keep him amused. He went through all the cards and didn't stop laughing for about an hour. Some of the trump cards you can play include having better quality alcohol for your workers, or fiddling the publication dates on your papers. Quality. I'm sure there's scope for combining it with Dino-Opoly (yes, I have that as well in my games cupboard) to make a very entertaining and reasonably palaeontologically accurate game.
Dino-Opoly?
How many dino games are there?
