The Great Dinosaur Rush

Compete as rival paleontologists to excavate bones from contested dig sites and assemble dinosaur skeletons for museum exhibits. On each turn players dig to collect different-colored bone tiles and trigger site actions, including options to steal bones, sabotage opponents, or take secret notoriety tokens that affect final scoring. In the build phase players spend collected bones to construct dinosaur models, optimizing attributes such as length, size, height and ferocity to score in museum categories. Notoriety contributes to final totals but the player with the single highest notoriety suffers a penalty, so risk and timing matter throughout the game.
