Look, if your kid is obsessed with dinosaurs, this is the gold standard. It’s not a mindless button-masher; it’s a 'thinker' game. You’re managing scientists, power grids, and prehistoric temperaments.
It’s surprisingly educational in a 'logistics and biology' kind of way. The only real 'danger' is the frustration when a storm hits and your star attraction decides to have a mid-life crisis and walk through a fence. It’s clean, it’s smart, and it’s a great way to transition a kid from simple builders to more complex strategy games.
