About the Game

In the age before civilization, the world belongs to the beasts.

Across plains, forests, swamps, and mountains, prehistoric creatures roam freely. Rival clans send their hunters into the wilds, competing not through war but through cunning, survival, and the skill of the hunt.

In Dino Hunters, players secretly deploy hunters across the map, trying to predict where creatures will appear and where rival clans will strike. When the hunt begins, danger comes not only from the beasts themselves, but also from overcrowded hunting grounds and the shifting balance of the ecosystem.

Each round, new creatures emerge across the land, creating fresh opportunities and unexpected dangers. Some areas may be rich with prey, while others suddenly erupt with predators or massive beasts that test the bravery of even the most experienced hunters.

Players must decide where to send their hunters, when to take risks, and when to avoid crowded hunting grounds. Success earns valuable trophies that can be brought back to camp or used to complete special hunting challenges for additional rewards.

The clan that best reads the land, outmaneuvers their rivals, and survives the most dangerous hunts will earn the greatest glory.

Gameplay Overview

In Dino Hunters, rival clans compete to prove their skill by hunting the most valuable creatures roaming a dangerous prehistoric landscape. Each round, new dinosaurs appear across plains, forests, swamps, and mountains, creating shifting opportunities and risks across the map.

Players secretly decide where to send their hunters before revealing their plans at the same time. As the hunt unfolds, crowded hunting grounds, dangerous predators, and powerful beasts can quickly turn a promising expedition into disaster.

Successful hunters return to camp with valuable trophies that can be collected for points or used to complete special hunting challenges. Over the course of the game, players must read the land, anticipate their rivals, and decide when to take risks in pursuit of the most rewarding hunts.

At the end of the game, the clan with the most victory points earns the greatest glory.
