Watch “How to Play,” a how-to-play guide for Escaping Extinction: Based on a True Story from SolidRoots on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by SolidRoots on YouTube:

*Hey there, dino adventurers! We need to clear up a little mix-up. In some of the rulebooks, vines and wood decided to pull a switcheroo, but don’t worry, we’ve untangled the confusion! This video will show you the right way to play, and if you would like a corrected rulebook, just send us an email at hello@solidroots.com and we’ll send you one for free. Now, grab your resources (the right ones this time), and let’s get escaping!* Millions of years ago, a meteor wiped out all the dinosaurs. But what if some of them made it out alive? In Escaping Extinction, you take on the role of super-smart Dinos trying to build a rocket and survive this tragedy! 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? Want to grab a copy of Escaping Extinction for your friends and family? It's available on Amazon: https://a.co/d/hP2EqlM Follow us on social media—we're not just HILARIOUS; we're also incredibly modest! 😉 If you tag us while playing Escaping Extinction, we'll be like those proud parents who can't stop bragging about their kids all over our platforms! 🎉 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@solidrootsgames Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solidrootsgames/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/makesolidroots/

About Escaping Extinction: Based on a True Story, from BoardGameGeek:

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
