As one of the winners of Dr. Toy's 10 Best Games award, the Survival/Extinction Dinosaur Game will be a hit with playful paleontologists everywhere. Players in the game learn about dinosaurs firsthand by themselves becoming the creatures. Each of the 16 player-dinosaurs must make his or her way through the prehistoric world in search of food and struggling for survival. Winning the game means getting to the finish with at least one food token. To do this, players must remember his or her dinosaur's habitat, sources of food, intelligence, speed, and size. Natural disaster cards also teach the hazards associated with everyday dinosaur life. Players will learn about these giant creatures with every fateful step of this creative board game. --Lee Strucker

LOOK OUT! A dinosaur is attacking you! You barely ecape. BOOM! A volcano erupts! Your food supply is destroyed. You move out of your natural habitat and into enemy territory. Overcrowding leads to famine. Each turn is a struggle for food. You must stay alert at every moment. Will you survive?
Each dinosaur's survival is challenged by the search for food, dinosaur attacks, and natural disasters. It's an exciting way to learn and understand the characteristics of each dinosaur, their natural habitat and the factors that may have led to their extinction. It's action packed, lots of fun, and you can become a different dinosaur every time!
Review
Dinosaur buffs can "become" a specific dinosaur whose name, habitat, food preference and special characteristics are noted on its card. The game board path meanders through four habitats; in each, native dinosaurs have special advantages. Every square along the path relates to their struggle to survive. (Ruth B. Roufberg, Parent's Choice, 1996) -- From Parents' Choice
