About the Game

Dinodocus is a card game for 2 to 6 players that plays in 45 minutes (no matter the number of players). Players will assemble unique dinosaurs, trying to make them survive as long as possible.

In Dinodocus, players will create and modify dinosaurs using cards depicting dinosaur body parts similar to an identikit. Apart from these body parts, the cards also carry dinosaur name syllables and attack and defense values. The syllables give each of your dino-creations unique names, whereas the attack and defense value give your dinosaurs strength.

Your game turn is simple and fast, first you draw dinosaur body part cards, then you create new dinosaurs and/or modify any dinosaur on the table, and then you feed your dinosaurs. Herbivores will share a limited pool of vegetation tokens, while carnivores will hunt other dinosaurs. Your dinosaurs that couldn't find a food source will go extinct. The longer can survive your dinosaur species, and the more victory points you will get.

During the game you will need to negotiate, retaliate, plead and bluff to convince the current player to mutate other players' dinosaurs, not yours!
