Product Information

If an Instant card states “Play this card during scoring,” you may play that card when scores are being calculated after all Point card effects have been used. If scores are inverted in a round when multiple players tie for the highest or lowest score, the scores of all players involved are inverted. For example, if two players are tied for the lowest score in the round at 3 points each and the highest score in that round is 9 points, both of the players originally tied for the lowest score receive a score of 9 points for the round, and the player who originally had a score of 9 points now receives a score of 3 points. Note: inversion effects do not apply to Sudden Death; during Sudden Death, you always want to play the higher card than your opponent(s) to avoid adding a Disaster card to your Disaster area.

If you are playing with two players, we suggest that you make a couple of modifications to the standard rules: If you have 5 Instant cards in your hand and no Point cards, discard your hand and draw 5 new cards.

Meteor cards are special Disaster cards that act as any of the three types of Disaster cards. You can think of Meteors as the chameleons of Disaster cards. This means that you will be eliminated from the game if you collect a Meteor card in addition to any two other Disaster cards. For each Disaster card in your Disaster Area, move your Dinosaur meeple forward 1 space on your Escape Route at the end of the round.

If scores are inverted in a round, only the player(s) with the highest and lowest scores are affected.Some Point cards simply show a point value, while others also have a card effect. These card effects may allow players to draw or discard cards, swap Point cards with another player, or even alter the round’s scoring rules. Unless otherwise specified, players may use their Point card’s effect after revealing their Point card, but before scoring occurs in the round. If you collect three Disaster cards of the same type or three different types of Disaster cards, you are eliminated from the game and must immediately discard your hand. If an Instant card states “Play this card if you would add a Disaster card to your Disaster Area this round,” you may play that card if you have the lowest score after scoring is complete to avoid adding a Disaster card to your Disaster Area (or if another player sends a Disaster card your way).
