About the game
What you do in a play session
In Dino Chaos, you and your friends are scientists trying to reconstruct dinosaurs from DNA sequences. Sounds simple, right? Here’s the catch: one of you is a secret saboteur! While the team works to build complete dinosaurs (head, body, and tail of the same color), the traitor quietly messes things up. Each properly built dinosaur scores the scientists 1 point; reach 8, and they win. But if the saboteur scores 5 points, the game enters the Accusation Phase: scientists get one last chance to finger the traitor. Got it right? Heroic victory! Wrong? The saboteur takes the crown. And there’s more: if you complete a dinosaur with a tail card, you can temporarily disable a player you suspect. Will you use this power for good... or for chaos? With deduction, hidden roles, and a dash of betrayal, Dino Chaos is pure adrenaline in 20 minutes. Who will you blame when the T-Rex ends up headless?
