Happy Little Dinosaurs: Exclusive Edition

In the exclusive edition of Happy Little Dinosaurs, you'll find the base game and two expansions: one for 5 to 6 players and another called Perils of Puberty. It's a unique experience that brings the fun of dinosaurs trying to survive a series of hilarious disasters. The objective is simple: collect 50 points or be the last dinosaur standing. During each turn, a disaster is revealed, and you must play a point card to get around it and accumulate points. These disasters can be natural, predatory or emotional, and the interaction between players promises plenty of laughs. One of the most fun parts of the game are the cards representing weapons, trinkets and good luck charms. They range from 0 to 9 points and help you protect yourself from the dangers that arise, as well as providing a good dose of strategy. Having three disaster cards of the same or different types can mean the end of your journey. The personal boards feature your dinosaur's characteristics and an escape route that helps you keep track of your score. As you move your meeple around the board, the tension builds: will you manage to avoid all the disasters or have your journey interrupted by a prehistoric whale? Only the game will tell! Are you ready to embark on this fun adventure full of twists and turns?

GAME mechanics

  • Collecting Sets - In "Happy Little Dinosaurs: Exclusive Edition", the aim is to collect sets of disaster cards to advance in the game. Each set consists of different types of disasters, such as natural disasters, predators and social accidents. Collecting these sets allows the player to advance around the board, avoiding dangers and increasing their score.
  • Hand Management - Managing your hand of cards is crucial. Players start with a set of cards and need to decide which ones to play each round to avoid disaster. Tactical decisions about which cards to use, keep or discard can determine success in the game, similar to planning when to attack or defend in a friendly soccer match with friends.
  • Take that! - This mechanic adds an element of direct interaction between players. At opportune moments, you can play cards to hinder your opponents' progress. Imagine playing on the brink of victory and suddenly an opponent throws down a card that forces you to go backwards, like that friend who insists on changing the song just as you're about to guess the right artist. This strategy keeps the game competitive and unpredictable.
