About this board game

Lost Valley of the Dinosaurs is a 1985 board game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of about 60 minutes. Each expedition enters a mysterious lost valley in search of a stolen secret and fabulous riches hidden in a temple at the valley’s summit.

According to an ancient chart, the valley was once occupied by a fierce tribe that gathered great wealth and used vicious dinosaurs to protect it. The people are gone, but the dinosaurs remain, turning the journey toward the temple into a dangerous race.

The expedition begins just as a volcano that has been dormant for centuries starts to rumble. As the threat of lava grows, rival parties must press onward through the valley and compete to discover its lost secret before the eruption engulfs the region.

  • Players: 2–4
  • Playing time: 60 minutes
  • Setting: A lost valley, ancient temple, dinosaurs, and a threatening volcano
  • Objective: Race to the temple and claim its hidden treasure

With no humans living in the valley, the explorers face only the hazards left behind by its former inhabitants and the dangers of nature itself. The question is not simply who can find the treasure, but who can survive the journey.

In Lost Valley of the Dinosaurs, every expedition is a race against both competing adventurers and an awakening volcano. Who will reach the temple first, win the fabulous riches, and escape before the valley is consumed by lava?
