Millions of years back, dinosaurs were at the helm of life on Earth. Being the precursors of most modern-day animals, they commanded mammoth sizes and shrieking calls. Now, very extinct, their animations in movies and documentaries do justice to their ferocity and prowess.

In this game, the premise is that the eggs of a kind are to be taken up to an adult dinosaur of its matching kind. Their habitat is a large dense jungle that is fraught with surprises at every step, some dangerous and some beautiful. The fear ebbs away out fortitude, whilst the beauty strengthens our courage and resolve to keep exploring.

All cards are laid in a matrix for a jungle setting. Each explorer, out of 5 in your team, initially equipped with 100 courage points, start out on a card lining the edges. Every face-down card that an explorer steps on is laid exposed henceforth. When you discover an egg , a matching adult dinosaur is sought by you. A lot of courage points are gained from such happy conclusions. Explorers stranded on a card maybe resting, hiding an egg or a dinosaur or could just be short of courage and awaiting a recharge.

Parts: 1 board, 330 cards, 30 explorer men, 30 courage indicators
