About the game
Get ready for a Jurassic week in Dino Days, a fast-paced and straightforward game where the goal is to rack up the most points! Each dinosaur you bring into your weekly 'parade' has its own special rules. Some can sabotage your opponents' scores, others swap places, and some have game-changing effects. The Giganotosaurus, for instance, is a card everyone starts with that can devastate your opponent's board, but beware: it still nets you 10 points! Meanwhile, the Diplodocus requires you to use two cards to play it. It's a two-player dino duel where managing your cards and timing your actions are crucial. The 'Take That' interaction is present, but in a light and strategic way, without the aggressive feel that might put some players off. The game uses a worker placement mechanic with different worker types, where your choices of where and how to place your dinosaurs (workers) determine your success. With a shared deck for both players, the game is quick, and the complexity is low, making it ideal for those seeking something fun and fast. It's a card game with a prehistoric theme that fits your pocket and your schedule!
