Scientists vs. mama raptor: play cards simultaneously and use the numeric difference to act.
Vibe's take
asymmetric tension, simultaneous bluffing, quick tactical, dinosaur theme, card-driven
Who it's for
Couples and 2-player fans who want fast, asymmetric tactical games with bluffing.
Not for you if…
You want symmetric balance. The sides play completely differently by design.
Scientists vs. a mama raptor protecting her babies in a 2-player asymmetric card duel. Each round, both players simultaneously reveal a numbered card. The lower number uses that card's special action; the higher number gets action points equal to the difference. Scientists try to tranquilize mama or capture three babies; the raptor tries to eat scientists or get three babies to safety. The simultaneous card play creates a bluffing game within the tactical puzzle. Fast, tense, and wildly asymmetric.
