Jurassic Snack

What to Expect

In Jurassic Snack, players move their Diplodocus miniatures on a grid to eat grass tokens and outscore their opponent. Each turn, players can move either a Diplo or the fierce T. Rex, which chases away opponent's Diplos. The game ends when no grass tokens remain or a player has no Diplos left. Quick, tactical rounds create a head-to-head duel full of strategic choices.

Who Is This Game For?

Jurassic Snack is aimed at fans of abstract strategy games and works well as a family game thanks to its simple rules and short 15-minute playtime. Suitable for children aged 7 and up, it's ideal for players who enjoy fast, tactical duels for two. No prior experience is necessary as the rules are easy to grasp.

How It Works

The core mechanic is Grid Movement: players move their Diplos in straight lines until blocked by obstacles. Eating grass tokens triggers effects like spawning new Diplos or summoning the T. Rex. The T. Rex moves similarly and can remove opponent Diplos from the board. Each turn, players perform two actions, distributed between Diplo and T. Rex as they choose, aiming to eat more grass than their opponent.

What Makes It Special

Setting & Atmosphäre

The game is set in a prehistoric world where young Diplodocus dinosaurs compete for the tastiest grass while the fearsome T. Rex roams. The theme is family-friendly and blends nature with the age of dinosaurs.

Tipp für Einsteiger

Focus on moving your Diplos strategically and use grass token effects to summon the T. Rex wisely.
