Animal Upon Animal: Dinos

About this board game

Animal Upon Animal: Dinos is a 15-minute animal-stacking board game for 1–4 players, released in 2020. Each turn, a player rolls the die and carries out one of the available building actions.

The goal is simple: be the first player to have no animals in front of them. To achieve this, players must carefully manage their animals while adding pieces to the shared stack or passing the building task to someone else.

• Place one or two animals on the stack.
• Pass one animal to another player for them to place.
• Place an animal on the table to extend the base.

Every placement can change the shape of the growing structure. If any pieces fall off while you are building, you must take up to two of them back, making each turn an opportunity to reduce your supply—or add animals back in front of you.

The table can also become part of the construction as players extend the base for future building. This gives Animal Upon Animal: Dinos more than one way to approach the shared arrangement while keeping the central objective visible throughout the game.

With its short play time and support for 1–4 players, Animal Upon Animal: Dinos offers a focused stacking challenge for a small group or a solo player. Roll the die, choose how to handle your animals, and aim to finish your supply before anyone else.
