Rettet die Dinos
W&L-2001; 2-4; 5+

Includes 1 board, 12 small eggs, 6 large eggs, 4 pawns, a colored die, a number die and a wooden ring. The board shows a circular path with 18 colored fields. In the center is the ring. In the course of play eggs are stacked within the ring to form a small nest. There are four versions of the game. The first is suitable for younger children. The active player rolls the dice and moves the pawn clockwise to the next space of that same color and puts two small or one large dinosaur eggs into the nest without letting them slip out, otherwise having to move backward or lose a turn. In another version the number die is used and anyone's pawn may be moved. This player must resolve the specified action. A third version uses only two pawns, the blue which represents a slowly approaching meteor. The other is used for all of the players who are working together to ensure that no eggs are lost before the meteor arrives. In the final version, each player has his own pawn and rolls both dice. The player decides which one he prefers to use and then moves. The components are quite attractive and the diagrams clear in their meanings. Title means "Save the Dinos". target=_new>[Check Availability]
