Jurassic Park Board Games: Danger!, Unmatched, Monopoly and More

By Updated

The Jurassic Park board game lineup includes 10 licensed games, from the one-versus-many Danger! to Unmatched, Monopoly and a Jurassic World legacy campaign. Each entry lists its specs and film connection.

  • 10 games
  • 1993 to 2025

Keep an eye on those dice. Here are the dinosaurs that actually come in the box.

Jurassic Park games fall into two camps: escape stories based on the 1993 film and newer Jurassic World park-building campaigns. You’ll also find party staples and a chess set below. If giant creatures are your thing, our Godzilla board games page is a natural next stop.

In Danger!, one player controls the dinosaurs. Pick your predator.

  • 2025

    Young Cha Company launches the Jurassic Park Trading Card Game in Korea, with an English edition scheduled for November 2026.

Most players know one Jurassic era better than the other, so here’s how the games divide. The first film drives most of the older games and both Unmatched sets; Jurassic World drives the campaign and park games. The biggest game is the Jurassic World board game, with 12 adventures.

Jurassic Park board game or Jurassic World board game: which films are they based on?

The games draw from two eras: the 1993 original and the newer Jurassic World films.

  • The original Jurassic Park

    Danger!, both Unmatched sets, the 1993 Milton Bradley game and Hasbro's Monopoly use characters and dinosaurs from the first film.

  • Jurassic World

    The Legacy of Isla Nublar covers the film storylines, while Jurassic World: The Boardgame is based on the first Jurassic World film.

  • The newer films, on cards

    UNO Jurassic World draws from the newer films: Fallen Kingdom in 2018, Dominion in 2022 and Rebirth in 2025.

Unmatched is a game system, and the two Jurassic Park boxes are standalone sets. Each is a 20-40 minute duel between two heroes or teams. They also combine with other Unmatched sets, adding dinosaurs to a bigger collection. Start with Unmatched Jurassic Park and its raptor pack.

Both Unmatched sets work on their own, so you can start with either.

Unmatched Jurassic Park: InGen vs. Raptors or Dr. Sattler vs. T. Rex

Each set is a standalone two-player game, and both can be combined with other Unmatched sets.

InGen vs. Raptors (2020)

Muldoon and InGen workers use traps against Velociraptors that fight as a pack. The board is the Raptor Paddock.

Dr. Sattler vs. T. Rex (2022)

Ellie Sattler, the T. Rex and Ian Malcolm face off on a T. Rex Paddock battlefield, with a sidekick token.

What the sets share

2 players, 20-40 minutes, ages 14+. Take two actions per turn, and use attack and defense cards to decide fights.

Chess is the odd one out here: the rules haven’t changed. The draw is the dinosaur pieces, so we describe them one by one below. The Jurassic Park chess set page also covers the board border and the pieces.

Jurassic Park chess set: a look at the pieces and board

The Noble Collection's Jurassic Park chess set is the only licensed set we could confirm.

  • The pieces

    The set has 32 dinosaur pieces: T. rex king, Spinosaurus queen, Dilophosaurus bishops, Velociraptor knights, Brachiosaurus rooks and Pteranodon pawns.

  • The board

    The board has Jurassic Park branding and a fossil-themed border.

  • Jurassic World chess

    We couldn't find a separate Jurassic World chess set from the Noble Collection or another publisher.
