About the game

What you do in a play session

Alright, folks! Get ready for a wild adventure in Dinoblivion, a strategy game that blends tableau and deck-building in a universe where humanity and dinosaurs must coexist. Here's the deal: you take control of a primitive clan, and your goal is to fight off some seriously big dinosaurs and, while you're at it, conquer the promised land of Dinoblivion. It can be a solo journey or an epic clash against a friend, the choice is yours!

The game is quick, but packed with interesting decisions thanks to its multi-use cards. Each play forces you to think: 'Hmm, do I use this card to hunt, expand my clan, manage resources, or build a powerful totem?' The cards in the hunting grounds are constantly changing, so the idea is to devise a long-term strategy, finding the best combinations to make your clan shine. Besides the dinos, there are also some cannibals lurking in the jungle, so you'll need to be extra vigilant!

With 4 unique Clan Chiefs, 16 Action Cards, and 15 Clan Cards, each game of Dinoblivion will be a different experience. In total, there are 122 cards, 40 of which are unique, plus 2 player boards, 1 main board, 12 wooden meeples, food tokens, dino tokens, and dinosaur egg tokens. It's a complete package to dive headfirst into this prehistoric universe and take over the land of the dinosaurs!
