About the game
Dino Dunk is a competitive dexterity game in which two players control teams of dinosaurs playing a basketball-inspired game. Each team consists of five dinosaurs, chosen from a pool of ten dinosaurs, represented by wooden discs of various sizes. Players alternate turns, striking either their dinosaurs or the ball with their finger as they move, pass, and shoot in order to score the most points. The first player to score a predetermined number of points wins!

Questions and answers
Dino Dunk supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dino Dunk is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dino Dunk for ages 9 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dino Dunk has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
