Getting Ready
Shuffle the Problem Solving Cards and place the pack face down
on the left-hand rock in the center of the game board. Each player
chooses one type of dinosaur and places one of each color in the
appropriate lane by the start sign on the game board.
Playing the Game
1. Players each roll the green number cube. The player who rolled
the largest number starts the game.
2. The first player rolls all four white number cubes and arranges
them into a number on his/her colored place value boxes.
The player then moves the dinosaurs along the matching color
tracks for each place value.
Next, the player draws a Problem Solving Card and reads it.
The player then computes the answer and moves his/her
dinosaur(s) the correct number of spaces along the track.
Example: The answer is 1,231. The player moves the blue
dinosaur 1 space (1,000), the purple dinosaur 2 spaces (200),
the orange dinosaur 3 spaces (30) and the yellow dinosaur 1
space. Place the card face up in discard pile on the right-hand
Game Variations
♦
Simplify the game by not using the white number cubes.
During their turns, players simply pick up the top Action
Numbers Card, and move their dinosaurs accordingly.
♦
Add excitement to Showdowns by sending the player
who loses the Showdown back to START. The Showdown
winner gets to stay on the disputed footprint.
