In Dino Race, the mission is clear: save your dinosaurs from extinction! But don't think it's going to be a walk in the Jurassic park. You and your friends will control a pair of dinosaurs that need to run as fast as possible through environments ranging from arid plains to treacherous swamps. The goal is to get your creatures to the end of the track, but the fun (and the mischief!) comes from the cards you play. Want to speed up your dino? There's a card for that. Want to hinder the friend who's in the lead? There's that too! And don't forget the dino egg: protecting it and getting it to safety also earns precious points. It's a frantic race where every play counts, and luck might give you a helping hand, but the strategy of managing your cards and knowing when to attack (or defend) is what will determine who crosses the finish line first. Perfect for those who enjoy a light race with a touch of mischief and lots of dinosaurs!
