A dinosaur capture game by Reiner Knizia, where cooperation is often necessary.
Game objective: Win high-value dinosaur cards to have the most points at the end of the game.
Game rules: 3 dinosaur cards are placed on the table. To take them, pawns must be placed on all spaces. The player rolls the five dice. They must set aside at least one die on each turn.
If it's a capture tool, the player must place a pawn on a free space where this tool is depicted on the dinosaur card of their choice. If it's the binoculars, nothing happens for now. The player then decides whether to end their turn or if they want to re-roll the remaining dice, and so on.
If the player decides to end their turn, they can take the fully completed dinosaur cards. The cards are then replaced with new ones.
If the player cannot set aside any dice, it's the next player's turn. In this case, any fully completed cards are removed and replaced.
Binoculars: If, during their turn, a player has set aside all five dice and at least two dice show binoculars, the player can continue their turn and re-roll all five dice. The game ends when there are no more dinosaur cards (the number of cards to play can be decided at the beginning).
Game contents: 18 dinosaur cards of different values, 18 pawns, 5 dice with stickers
