Added Rules

New page

=== '''Goal''' ===
Collect fossil tiles and complete dinosaur skeletons to score the most points.
The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

=== '''Turn Overview''' ===

# Players take turns clockwise. On your turn:
# Move one of your paleontologists
# Flip that paleontologist
# Collect the fossil tile you moved from
# Replace the tile with a new one from the current era

=== '''Movement''' ===
'''Move a Paleontologist'''

Choose one of your two paleontologists and move it in the direction shown on the token.

Each token has two sides:

*Orthogonal side – move up, down, left, or right
*Diagonal side – move diagonally

'''Movement Rules'''
* You must move in one of the directions shown on the token.

*You cannot land on a space occupied by another paleontologist.
*You may **jump over any number of tokens** to reach the next open tile in that direction.
*You cannot move off the board.

If no legal move is available, move one of your tokens to **any open tile**, ignoring movement rules.

=== '''Flip the Paleontologist''' ===
After moving, '''flip the paleontologist token to its other side'''.

This causes the paleontologist to alternate between:

*Orthogonal movement
*Diagonal movement

=== '''Collecting Fossils''' ===
After moving:

*Take the '''fossil tile you moved from''' and place it in front of you.
*Replace that tile with a '''new fossil tile from the current era stack'''.

If the current era stack is empty, begin drawing tiles from the '''next era'''.

=== '''Completing Dinosaurs''' ===
Fossil tiles belong to dinosaur sets.

Each tile shows:

*The '''dinosaur species'''
*Its '''position in the skeleton'''
*Two scoring values:
*Left number – points if the dinosaur is incomplete

* Right number – points if the dinosaur is completed

To complete a dinosaur, collect **all tiles in its set**.

=== Special Ability ===
Completing either of the following dinosaurs triggers an ability:

*<nowiki>**Velociraptor**</nowiki>
*<nowiki>**Deinosuchus**</nowiki>

When one of these dinosaurs is completed, the player may **immediately flip one of their paleontologist tokens**.

=== '''End Game''' ===
The game ends when either condition occurs:

*The **final Era 3 fossil tile** is placed on the board.
*A player completes their **fourth dinosaur**.

All players finish the current round so everyone has taken the same number of turns.

=== '''Scoring''' ===
Players score their fossil tiles as follows:

*'''Incomplete dinosaurs:''' score the **left value on each fossil tile
*'''Completed dinosaurs:''' score the **right value once for the entire set

Tiles in completed dinosaurs '''do not score individually'''.

=== '''Winning''' ===
The player with the **most points wins**.

'''Tiebreaker'''

If players are tied:

# Compare the '''largest scoring completed dinosaur'''
# If still tied, compare the '''next largest'''
# Continue until the tie is broken
