Board Games: The Dinosaur Game
As one of the winners of Dr. Toy's 10 Best Games award, the  Survival/Extinction Dinosaur Game will be a hit with playful  paleontologists everywhere. Players in the game learn about dinosaurs  firsthand by themselves becoming the creatures. Each of the 16  player-dinosaurs must make his or her way through the prehistoric world in  search of food and struggling for survival. Winning the game means  getting to the finish with at least one food token. To do this, players  must remember his or her dinosaur's habitat, sources of food,  intelligence, speed, and size. Natural disaster cards also teach the  hazards associated with everyday dinosaur life. Players will learn  about these giant creatures with every fateful step of this creative  board game.--Lee Strucker
