Description
Dobble Dinosaurs is a fast observation game in which everyone plays at the same time. Any two cards always share exactly one symbol - your task is to find it first and call it out loud. This edition takes you among the dinosaurs: on the cards you look for the matching dinosaur, an animal from another era such as a mammoth, or a piece of explorers' equipment.
How to play Dobble Dinosaurs
You play a series of short mini-games with the same rule: you compare your card with the card in the middle or with your opponents' cards, find the matching symbol, name it, and take, discard or give away the card. The symbol is always the same shape and colour, but it may be a different size.
In one mini-game you collect as many cards from the middle as you can, in another you pass cards around like a hot potato. A special feature of this edition is the cooperative excavation mini-game: together you have one minute to place as many cards as possible on the laboratory card, and then you try to beat your own score. In the other mini-games, whoever wins the most of them wins.
