📖 About This Game

Dinosaurs are being tested in a top secret lab, by a few trusted scientists, when all goes dark. As the lights flicker on, each scientist discovers themselves in a separate room, manipulating their dinosaur as well as the Lab itself through a strange bracelet fused to their wrist. Their goal: make it to the Lab Exit before the other scientists, at all costs. Gameplay of Extinction Lab consists of each player taking a turn, on which they: Decide to either move all their dinos on the board OR roll the die to take actions. If they decided to roll the die, they receive 1-3 actions, depending upon what was rolled. Individual actions are spent on moving your Scientist, using your Scientists ability, attacking an enemy dino or Scientist, using a telepad, using a gear card, or drawing and resolving a Direction card (Direction cards allow a player to shift the Lab tiles). To win, your Scientist must be on the Lab Exit with a Lab Key in hand. —description from the designer
