About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a Jurassic basketball match in Dino Dunk! Here, you won't see LeBron James or Michael Jordan, but a whole crew of dinosaurs ready to slam dunk. The objective is straightforward: be the first to reach the set score and lead your dino team to victory. Each player chooses 5 dinos from a pool of 10, each represented by a wooden disc of varying sizes. The fun comes from the flicking mechanic: you'll use your finger to move your players and the ball, trying to make epic baskets. It's a game of pure dexterity, where your aim and the force of your touch make all the difference. On each turn, you decide whether to move a dino, pass the ball, or shoot. The challenge is to master the physics and precision to outplay your opponent. Dino Dunk is ideal for those who enjoy fast-paced games with a touch of manual skill and a super fun theme. It's a great choice for gathering family or friends for some relaxed games, where laughter is guaranteed with every flick that goes awry (or perfectly!). The complexity is low, making it accessible for younger players, but the fun is guaranteed for all ages. If you like games that test your coordination and make you laugh out loud, Dino Dunk is the right pick!
