T-Rex's Holiday is a board game released in 2019 for 2–8 players, 15–20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Yu Wang and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Paper-and-Pencil.
Your playful (and oddly short-limbed) cat Tyrannosaurus and her friends know you're tired after coming home from work — so of course they will jump and run around the house to their hearts' content in order to create a sweet little mess for you to remember them by! Because as long as you're family, every day is a holiday for Tyrannosaurus! Tyrannosaurus's Holiday is a roll-and-write game with a unique "roll-3-dice-and-hide-1" mechanism that brings interesting player interaction to the game. All players may fill in the numbers of the two public dice freely on their game sheet, but the number of the hidden die has a strict limit as to where it can be filled in. Pay attention to the dice-roller's sheet so that you may have a chance to take advantage of their hidden die!
T-Rex's Holiday supports 2–8 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 T-Rex's Holiday is 15–20 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 T-Rex's Holiday for ages 8 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.
T-Rex's Holiday has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
