Read the full game description

Roar-a-Saurus is a beautifully illustrated, family friendly, multi-player dino battle with "easy" and "challenge" modes. In "easy", players roll their battle dice as quickly as they can to attack their neighbors, heal themselves, or blow up all the other players. Gameplay is fast and furious, and with super simple rules, everyone can get in on the action as quickly as you can take the game out of the box. In "challenge" mode, players have more options, but gameplay is still easy to learn and quick to play. Power-Ups make your dino more powerful by increasing its offense or defense. Customize your dino with nine different Power-Ups into a offensive dino of destruction or an armor clad defensive dino of doom — but you'll still need to be quick as play is always real-time...
