From BoardGameGeek

In Dino Gardens, dinos compete to grow the largest, most delicious garden they can before the meteor strike and the end of the world. Dino Gardens is a strategy game where you must grow and eat plants while forming alliances, battling other dinos, and protecting your garden from Terrible T-Rex. To help in growing their garden, each dino has a unique skill that may allow them to fly, run, swim, or have access to unique seeds. In the Planting stage, dinos move freely around the land planting their seeds. In the Growing stage, dinos must tend to their seeds and grow them into mature plants by revisiting them. And finally, in the Eating stage, dinos must try to eat all the plants they can for precious dino calories. At the end of the three stages, the dino who has consumed the most dino calories is the winner! In each stage dinos must make important choices. Planting in the wetlands will yield higher results, but other dinos may try and steal your plants. Visiting dino hot springs has restorative health benefits, but will take time away from gardening. In addition, Terrible T-rex is roaming the land looking for his lucky top hat, and if he finds it hidden in your garden, he will attack! -description from designer
