Objective

Draft dinosaurs and place them in different zones to get the most points.

Gameplay

  • The game consists of 2 rounds (or 4 rounds in a 2-player game).
  • Each player draws 6 dinosaurs from the bag.
  • The player with the placement die rolls it.
  • Each player chooses a dinosaur and places it in their zoo at the same time, following the rules on the placement die (except the roller, who can place anywhere).
  • In a 2-player game, each player then discards one of the remaining dinosaurs (you might like to imagine it was loaned to an overseas petting zoo).
  • Each player passes their dinosaur bag and placement die (if they had it) to their left.
  • Repeat until all dinosaurs are placed.
  • After 2 rounds, proceed to scoring.
  • At the end of the game you'll have placed 12 dinosaurs: 6 in round 1, 6 in round 2.
  • In the event of a tie, the player who has fewest T-Rexes wins. If they are still tied, the players share the win.
  • There are 6 species of dinosaurs, distributed as follows:
    • 5p: 60 dinos. 10 x 6 different species
    • 4p: 48 dinos. 8 x 6 different species
    • 3p: 36 dinos. 6 x 6 different species
    • 2p: 48 dinos. 8 x 6 different species

  • Restrooms: You must place the dinosaur in an area on the right.
  • Empty Pen: You must place the dinosaur in an empty pen.
