Dig through layers of sand, clay and stone to unearth dinosaur bones, and bury your rivals' finds if you must.
A dinosaur graveyard has turned up, and you are a paleontologist with a shovel, a whisk broom and a chisel, hoping for the find of a career. Each round you get two actions to dig at the site or make an extraction. As you remove sand, clay and stone layers, trace fossils come to light and can be traded in for tools, plaster and discovery points. Deeper down, bones appear, and a careful extraction needs the right amount of plaster. Sometimes the cleverest move is to shift earth over a find and slow down the competition. A three-dimensional dig site, a bit of take-that and sets of bones to collect, from age eight.
Who it's for
You like a hands-on theme with a dash of take-that, and you want a game that works for kids from eight alongside adults.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want zero interference. The dig site changes under everyone's hands, and a rival can bury your favorite bone.
Vibe's take
Tactile and a little mischievous. Every dig changes the landscape for everybody, so you constantly weigh grabbing a find now against covering the best one for later.
