Read the full game description

Tim the dinosaur researcher has come upon another find in Expedition Dino, and the players need to help him recover the bones, with one player being crowned as the best bone finder. To set up the game, the dinosaur figure is surrounded by rock cubes, each of which bear bone symbols on some of their sides. On a turn, the player will use the hammer and chisel to chip away at the rock pile, hoping that the cube will land bone-side up. If so, another find! Be careful with your picking, though. If you knock over Tim, make the dinosaur fall or pick off extra cubes, your turn ends. Collect more bones than anyone else, and you win the game.
