[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Today I played my first Solo game with the expansion of Palaeo Diet: Pulp.
The scenario is "To kill a king". The adventurers must kill the king carnivore and at least one member of the party must survive at the end of turn 12.

Year 1508, Somewhere in the Caribbean.
The governor of Hispaniola has taken much interest in the so-called Mysterious Lost Island of Dragons, newly discovered by an intrepid new Conquistador: Cesare Borgia. On his istructions, specimen of most of the larger creatures on the island have already been shot for taxidermy and exhibit. However, one notable beast remains unacquired; the king of the island, a mighty dragon. The party of Cesare Borgia have one morning left on the island before their ship must sail. There is time to go hunting one last time.

Great looking game.

I'm looking forward to trying it in a late XIX century lost world like context.

Just need to finish the five raptors.

I’ve always wanted to do a “Ponce de Leon” in a Lost World scenario.
