Dinositters! is an entry weight worker placement puzzle game in which players take on the role of two teenage dino-siblings competing against the other families to keep the newly hatched babies fed and entertained until your parents return. Each turn, players will place or move one of their siblings to gather resources or add hatchlings from the nursery to their nest. Players earn happiness by feeding hatchlings their favorite foods, finding friends for them to play with, and completing lava goals. Whenever a player adds their ninth hatchling, a lava space is empty, or three nursery spaces are empty, every other player gets one last turn before adding up final scores. The family with the most happiness wins! -description from the publisher
