In Escaping Extinction, you take on the role of super-smart Dinos trying to build a rocket and survive extinction! Work together as a team to travel the world, searching for rocket parts described by your friend Dr. Velo C. Raptor. With a tile-based game board, you'll face a different layout every time you play – with special Earthquake cards changing it up mid-game! Can you make it to the safety of space before the Meteor touches down? HOW TO PLAY Lay down the terrain tiles following the setup, set up each Dino's card and shuffle the different decks of cards. Remember the Meteor cards have a special way to shuffle! Flip over the first Rocket Docket card, where Dr Raptor reveals where the next Rocket Part can be found. Each time you bring a Part back to the Oasis, the next card is flipped. Taking turns, each Dino spends their 2 actions per round to move around the world, revealing tiles and collecting resources while searching for the Rocket Part. Once each Dino has taken a turn, draw a Meteor card. These can help or hinder your mission. This is also how the Meteor gets closer to Earth, so don't waste time! If an Earthquake gets drawn, it's time to shuffle the board around. These cards refresh the terrain tiles and change the world layout, so keep exploring -description from the publisher
