📖 About This Game
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hayballgames/raptor-island-the-card-game/
A 2-5 player action card game where players encounter dinosaurs to acquire their DNA, fuel the escape chopper and escape Raptor Island.
Each player must start the game with a hand size of three cards. During the game you will always draw a card at the start of your turn from the play deck found in the middle of the table. After drawing, players may play one card on their turn to help them get closer to their goals, be it through scrying the top few cards of the deck, or forcing another player to hand over a card to slow their progress.
Finding Dinosaur DNA is your primary goal. They are one of many Item cards you can find in the deck alongside Flare, Tranquilizer Gun or Raptor Egg cards and many more.
As a collective, every player shares the second goal. A set number of Fuel cards must be played to the Fuel Stockpile for any player to win the game. Fuel cards are another Item card you can find in the deck.
Finally once you have the required number of Dinosaur DNA and sufficient Fuel has been played to the Fuel Stockpile, you are ready to play an Escape The Island card and WIN THE GAME.
