About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a crazy prehistoric race in Dodos Riding Dinos! Choose your favorite dodo-riding-dinosaur and embark on a fierce competition where luck and dexterity mix. The goal is simple: be the first to cross the finish line and escape extinction! To do this, you'll use blue and red cards to advance, but beware of the wacky effects they bring. Some cards will test your manual dexterity, requiring you to throw bananas, flick dodo eggs, or even dodge meteors. The adrenaline ramps up with the red cards, which are super powerful, but be warned: if too many players choose the same red card in a round, the effect is nullified! Green cards are introduced to add a twist, allowing for unexpected reactions. And don't forget to hinder your opponents! Attacking a rival can make them discard cards, and running out of cards in hand means falling back and drawing more. At the end of each round, the leader gets an extra advance, while others draw cards to catch up. With mechanics like dice rolling and flicking, simultaneous action selection, and unique player powers, Dodos Riding Dinos guarantees fun for up to 8 players in quick 20-minute matches. It's a family game that blends luck, strategy, and lots of laughs!
