About the game
66 million years ago, When asteroids threatened the Earth, bounty hunter aliens came to Earth to rescue dinosaurs and exchange them for rewards offered by their alien leader, Glorb. Each player will play as an alien and every turn may choose to: -Rescue a Dinosaur (5 different species) -Play an Action card -or Draw a card But be careful! Because if you draw an asteroid card, it could hit your dinosaurs and those rescued by the players sitting next to you. You must roll the asteroid dice and hope for dinosaurs to survive the strike, unless you have a divert asteroid card that sends the meteorite directly to a player of your choice. A game of Kaboom Universe consists in 3 rounds of play, each one will finish when the unexpected Kaboom card appears. The alien/player who collects more rewards after these 3 rounds will earn the BIG reward... keeping a T-Rex as a pet! -description from designer

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 Kaboom Universe is 10–30 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 Kaboom Universe for ages 6 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.
Kaboom Universe has a complexity rating of 1.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
