Become a Dinosaur and struggle to survive! Overcome natural disasters, avoid famine and fend off attacks from your dinosaur opponents. This game has it all! For ages 5 and up with 2 play versions. Over 130 components including a DINO DIE! The unique concept of this Dinosaur Game sets it apart from other board games. It's NOT a trivia game! The Dinosaur Game requires no previous knowledge of dinosaurs. Instead, players learn as they play.
Players choose one of 16 different dinosaurs and receive a description card that tells scientifically accurate information about your prehistoric self, such as whether you are a carnivore or herbivore, what habitat you live in and how you rate on various characteristics from intelligence to defenses.
Your goal as a dinosaur is to SURVIVE by reaching the finish square first. To do this you must overcome obstacles such as Natural Disasters, Attacks from your dinosaur opponents and food shortages. The game uses an indirect learning style, which means that it is primarily fun and educational too.
The game includes over 130 exciting playing pieces and now is packaged with a DINO DIE. Also, two versions of the game are included in the instructions allowing different play for readers and non-readers. For ages 5 and up.
As one of the winners of Dr. Toy's 10 Best Games award, the Survival/Extinction Dinosaur Game will be a hit with playful paleontologists everywhere. Players in the game learn about dinosaurs firsthand by themselves becoming the creatures. Each of the 16 player-dinosaurs must make his or her way through the prehistoric world in search of food and struggling for survival. Winning the game means getting to the finish with at least one food token. To do this, players must remember his or her dinosaur's habitat, sources of food, intelligence, speed, and size. Natural disaster cards also teach the hazards associated with everyday dinosaur life. Players will learn about these giant creatures with every fateful step of this creative board game. --Lee Strucker

A Great Game! My 6 year old son received this game for Christmas from his grandmother. We have played it about 3 times a day every day since we got it! Any dino-obsessed kid would love this game. It doesn't take that long to play and even the dinosaurs that seem like they don't have many good qualities can win. There are typos on some of the cards, but it's not that big of deal. He loves to pretend that he is the dinosaur from the game. He even plays it by himself because he loves it so much!
Rare combination of fun and learning both for kids and adults My kids (boy age 8 and girl age 6) play with this one far more than any other board game. I love it too but I used to be a major dinosaur freak when I was little. The big deal is that even my wife gets a real kick out of it. This game has in a fun way taught my kids concepts such as adaptability, ability to reproduce, and environmental changes all coming into play in determining success in nature. I only wish one could get more holders for the moving pieces so that more than 4 people could play.
Great game! We recently purchased this game for my 4 year old son after a visit to the Smithsonian to see the dinosaur exhibit. He absolutely LOVES this game! We've been playing it almost every night since he got it (about 2 months now). It's a fun game. My husband and I even enjoy playing it.
Dinosaur Dynamite I recently purchased this game using a gift certificate. My little boy LOVES it. I think it's quite interesting as well but there were several typos on the game cards. Frankly, there needs to be better proof reading. Was this game assembled and printed in another country other than the USA. That would probably account for it.
