About the Game

In this game, players take on the roles of photographers who travel to recently discovered Dinosaur Island in an effort to take pictures that prove that dinosaurs still exist. Players roll dice to move their pawns along the island's jungle trails. If you land on a Star Space, you draw a card from the nearest stack. Cards might send you to a certain location, be used to thwart your opponents, or represent photographs. Photos can show nothing but foliage, part of a dinosaur, or an entire dinosaur. They have point values from 1 to 5 and the more dinosaur in the picture, the better the point value. When all the card stacks are depleted, the player with highest total points wins the game.
