Dodos Riding Dinos (2021)

About this game

Choose your favorite Dodo/Dino miniature! Advance with blue or red cards and solve their whacky effects. Some will test your dexterity against your rivals by throwing bananas, flicking dodo eggs or making meteors fall. Red cards are extra powerful but if too many players pick them during the same round, their effects will be ignored. Green cards allow the Dodo to react at any time. Damage your rivals so they discard cards, with no cards in hand their Dodos will retrocede as a penalty and draw some cards. At the end of each round, the Dodo in the lead advances an extra space while the rest get to draw a card. The fastest Dodo and Dino will be saved from extinction! One to six players compete in Dodos Riding Dinosaurs, a competitive family dexterity game that presents a crazy race.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 8. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
