About this game
You are a team of paleontologists racing rivals to assemble the most complete dinosaurs. Each player controls two diggers laid out on a grid of dig-site cards. On your turn you move one digger to a new dig site card and collect a card as you go, and every card shows a piece of a dinosaur fossil. Collect all the parts of a particular dinosaur to score more at the end of the game. Moves are simple, but picking which of your two diggers goes where, and what you leave for the others, is the puzzle. About 30 minutes for two to four players. A family-weight card game for dinosaur fans.
