About the game
Run! Meteors are falling from the sky!! In Meteor Escape you play cards simultaneously to form your herd of dinosaurs. During each turn, based on the card you played you perform a different action such as shooting meteors and make cubs before the extinction. Shoot the meteor ball in crazy ways determined by the last dinosaur card in play; you will physically launch the ball on the game box trying to extinguish the most dinosaurs of the main herd. But beware the increasing level of the oceans, how much risks are you willing to take? The game ends after 6 turns, the player with the most points is the winner. Make the most from your herd and perform great shots to become the jurassic king!

Questions and answers
Meteors supports 2–5 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 Meteors is 15–30 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 Meteors for ages 10 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.
Meteors has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
