About the game
The dinosaurs need your help! The big volcano is about to erupt, and all of the dinosaurs need to get to the island before the lava fills the valley. Work together to move all of the dinosaurs through the valley and onto the island. In this cooperative game, kids ages 4+ will work together to move all the dinosaurs across the board and onto the islands. Players use one of their cards to move a dinosaur onto a matching space on the board. The dinosaurs don’t share spaces, so players can get the dinosaurs really moving by playing the same item card twice and jumping over other dinosaurs! Mixed into the item cards are lava cards and when a player draws a lava card the lava moves one space closer to the valley. Players must get all the dinosaurs onto the island before the lava token reaches the bottom of the volcano. The bright and colorful image-based gameplay makes Baby Dinosaur Rescue easy to learn and fun to play! Once players know the rules there is no reading required which makes this a fun way for kids to use basic strategy skills and reduces competition by having the players work together to beat the game. -description from publisher
