Read the full game description

Dinos have been spotted in the jungle! You make hasty tracks after them to experience this excitement with your own eyes. But it‘s not very easy to catch sight of these massive ancient creatures. Whoever manages to uncover the sought after dinos and reach the end of the dinosaur footprint path first wins the game. Each player takes a wooden dinosaur token and places it at the start of a four-tile track. Five dinosaur tiles are shuffled and placed face down in a row on the table. Then in turn, players turn over one of 26 search tiles. If the search tile shows a "trade symbol," the player exchanges two dinosaur tiles without looking at them. If the search tile shows a picture of two or three dinosaurs, the player must turn over an equivalent number of dinosaur tiles. If they match exactly, that player's dinosaur advances on the track. The first player to reach the end of the track wins. In the "expert" variant, a sixth, blank tile is shuffled in along with the five dinosaur tiles.
