About this board game
Dino Racer is a fast-paced card game for 2-6 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. Five wacky dinosaurs compete in a prehistoric race, while players watch the action, draft cards, and build their scores across three races.
Each race begins with the announcer flipping Race cards to advance the dinosaurs along the track. Afterward, players draft those cards as betting tickets, creating opportunities to profit from the changing standings and the eventual finishing order.
Scoring rewards players who correctly judge which dinosaurs will finish in the top three. The faster dinosaurs award fewer points, while the underdogs offer higher rewards, creating a lively choice between safer predictions and more ambitious bets.
- Compete across three prehistoric races.
- Draft Race cards as betting tickets.
- Score based on the dinosaurs finishing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
- Watch checkpoints trigger unexpected events that can dramatically shift the standings.
Because checkpoint events can suddenly change the race, no position is guaranteed until the finish. Players must adapt as the dinosaurs advance and decide when a likely winner is worth fewer points than a risky underdog.
After the third race, players total their points. In Dino Racer, the player with the highest score wins, making every draft and every shifting position matter until the final result is known.
