Embedded Files
Jurassic World: The Legacy of Isla Nublar is a cooperative legacy campaign where players step into the roles of iconic franchise characters to build and manage a dinosaur theme park across a 12-scenario story. Almost every decision has lasting consequences for the rest of your game As the campaign unfolds, the modular board permanently changes into a unique version of Isla Nublar shaped by your gaming group.
The visual design and art direction got inspiration from vintage Hawaiian travel posters and mid-century pulp comics, combining lush illustrated environments with retro typography and weathered textures. This approach creates a “lost relic” aesthetic that reinforces the game’s sense of history and discovery. As if if the game had been lost for years and just rediscovered. My main role was to help bring unity among all the elements in the game from the board, cards, iconography, and rulebook, so the experience was seamless. Refining and re-designing components as needed, unifying colors and color usage, laying out the rulebook and guides, and putting the finishing touches on the game.

These guides are a helpful reminder for players. One side shows which actions characters may do on their turn and what those action do. On the flip side is a summary of how the dinosaurs move and the priority for choosing which prey each carnivores want to hunt.
Box Warning Sign
Box Warning Sign
Some people are not accustomed to legacy style games so we had to include a warning when you open the box to ensure people didn't just open everything in the box. I thought it would be thematic for it to mimic the warning sign found on electrical fences in the movie, it is both eye catching and fits the theme.
Research Folio
Research Folio
During the prologue and after each adventure the players will be directed to the research folio. During the prologue, the success of the previous adventure will impact future adventures in many ways. This could look like providing additional budget to help improve the park, unlocking new abilities for characters, or even revealing new exciting dinosaurs players will immediately add to their park!
