PLAYED FOR YOU

T-Rex greift an

Das groSSe Dinosaurier-Spiel

The game pictures the fight for survival, using Dinosaurs looking for food and laying their eggs which you must save from lava and T-Rex. The volcano is placed and equipped with fire; the feed tiles are laid out on plant squares. In turn players introduce ther dinosaurs by roll of a die onto one of the starting squares. Then you roll the action die and the number die and implement the corresponding action. Then you move your own dinosaur T-Rex, according to the action die result, and lay and egg, if possible. Possible actions are: Volcano eruption, Volcano eruption and feed, T-Rex or a choice of T-Rex or Volcano eruption. When the volcano erupts lava stones are first placed onto the volcano and subsequently on squares where they burn feed tiles. A dinosaur on such a square flees and loses and egg. A dinosaur moves across empty spaces and feed squares, here he can pick up one feed. If you have three feed tiles you cannot take more if this kind, but must lay an egg first by moving directly onto a nest square. The other players redistribute your feed tiles, first on empty squares and not on lava squares.  When a dinosaur encounters another dinosaur he can fight with it for feed; the better roll of the die wins. T-Rex attacks in order to steal eggs; this attack, too, is decided by the better roll of the die. When the last lava stone is placed you win if you were able to save most dinosaur eggs.

In this new edition this game is very good, featuring good rules and lots of information on Dinosaurs, the fight for survival is presented very well and even leaves room for a bit of tactics.
