About the game
What you do in a play session
Jurassic Snack is an abstract strategy and grid movement game, perfect for those who love quick and thematic duels. You control a team of adorable Diplodocuses (the Diplos) in search of juicy leaves scattered across the board. The goal is simple: eat more leaves than your opponent before the dreaded T. Rex shows up to ruin the party! Each turn, you can move your Diplos in a straight line until they hit an obstacle – be it another Diplo, the T. Rex, or, if you're lucky, a leaf to munch on. But beware: some leaves hide surprises, like the birth of new Diplos or the appearance of the T. Rex, which can send your dinosaurs back to their eggs! The game ends when all leaves are eaten or when a player loses all their Diplos. With simple rules and quick 15-minute matches, Jurassic Snack is ideal for kids and adults who enjoy a good strategic duel with a fun theme.
