How to Play Bitin' Off Hedz from Crab Fragment Labs

Watch “How to Play Bitin' Off Hedz from Crab Fragment Labs,” a how-to-play guide for Bitin' Off Hedz from James Ernest on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by James Ernest on YouTube:

James Ernest of Crab Fragment Labs explains the rules to Bitin' Off Hedz, a classic dinosaur racing game from Cheapass Games. Bitin' Off Hedz has always been a Cheapass fan favorite, and it is now available in a spiffy 25th Anniversary edition. The board used in this video is the large four-poster board from DriveThruCards. Like most Cheapass Games, you need to provide your own dice, rocks, and dinosaurs. Bitin' Off Hedz is a madcap race to the volcano at the center of a prehistoric island. Players roll dice to move their dinosaurs, picking up rocks and tussling with other players along the way. You can use rocks to re-roll, throw them at other players, and more. If you land on another player, you can bite off their head, take all their rocks, and send them back to start. Bitin' Off Hedz is goofy and delightful, and much better after 25 years of improvements! You can print your own board from the game page linked below, or order a copy from our store at DriveThruCards.

About Bitin' Off Hedz, from BoardGameGeek:

"Prehistory. Hot. Primordial. Dull. You've been dominating the earth for longer than you can remember. Then again, with a brain the size of a walnut, you've also been standing there for longer than you can remember. Nevertheless, you're completely positive that it's been ten million years since anything interesting has happened. So you decide to cajole your buddies into a suicide race across skull island. The winner is the first to hurl himself into a big volcano in the middle. The losers are everyone who got their hedz bitten off along the way." A very simple race game: throw your dice and move your dino. The track is rather long though and when parts of the track pass close to another part, players may throw rocks at each other which place you back at the start.
