What to Expect
You play as a stegosaurus family in a late Jurassic setting, working together to rescue eggs while earthquakes shift the board. The game uses a modular board, drawing turn tokens from a bag, and events like lava outbreaks. Use action points to move, stomp to shift tiles, pick up and deliver eggs, or eat super fruit for bonus powers. The game ends when the board collapses or dinos are lost; rescued eggs determine the family's fate.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at families and groups of 2–4 players, with a minimum age of 5. At about 40 minutes per game it's a family-friendly, game-night length experience that requires little prior experience. Parents and young players will appreciate the cooperative focus and straightforward action structure.
How It Works
Uh Oh, Dino! is a cooperative game featuring Action Points, Grid Movement and Pick-up-and-Deliver mechanics. A modular board changes during play due to earthquakes and event triggers, and players draw turn tokens from a drawstring bag that determine actions and the risk of the next shift. Players coordinate movement, stomps to shift tiles, and pickup/deliver tasks to save eggs as a team.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Sabrina Culyba and David Culyba, the game combines modular event boards with Dinomeeples and a bag-draw tension. The blend of Action Points, Grid Movement and a finale-style ending emphasizes teamwork and physical board dynamics.
