📖 About This Game

A volcano that has been dormant for centuries enters eruption, threatening to cover the entire valley in lava. Help save your dinosaur from extinction by escaping as far as possible from the fiery lava river! Dino Escape is an intense tile-placement game where every move counts for your survival. Build the best path, but beware of your opponents' tricks. During the game, each player will build their own path (while sabotaging others) to escape the volcano's wrath. Your have two goals, to get as far away as possible from the volcano in one direction (horizontal or vertical) and not to get caught by the lava. On his turn, a player must choose between one of two possible actions - Play a tile adjacent to one of his tiles, building his own path or play a tile adjacent to one of his opponents tiles (meddling with the opponent's path) and moving two spaces on his path. Whenever a tile featuring an Eruption Icon is played, an Eruption token is placed on the volcano. If one of those tiles is played and there are no more Eruption tokens available, an eruption happens, spreading lava throughout the player's paths. The game ends as soon as the tiles run out and the player who is the farthest from the volcano (in one of the directions) is the winner.
