About the game
It's a peaceful afternoon in the late Jurassic— until the ground begins to shake and the trees start to sway. Uh oh! EARTHQUAKE! Together you must brave the shifting and collapsing terrain save your dino family's precious eggs! Uh Oh, Dino! is a cooperative game where you play as a family of stegosaurus trying to rescue as many of your herd's eggs as possible before the board collapses or any of your dinos are lost. On your turn you draw a turn token out of the bag- the spikier the token, the more likely to give you more actions. Use your actions to move across the board, stomp to shift tiles, alley-oop over other dinos, pickup & deliver eggs, or eat super fruit to trigger bonus dino powers. But watch out because spikier tokens also have a greater chance of triggering the next board-shifting earthquake or burst of impassable lava. When the game ends, the number of eggs you've rescued determine the odds that your dino family survives... for now. With unique gameplay and adorable dinosaurs, Uh Oh, Dino! is a family-friendly adventure for players of all ages to enjoy together. —description from the publisher
