Being Chased by Tyrannosaurus rex
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be chased by a hungry, ferocious T. rex? If you think you can shepherd your herd of dinosaurs to safety and avoid becoming part of a Tyrannosaurus rex dinner, then this board game called simply “Tyrannosaurus rex“; might be the thing for you. From two to four players, the object of the game is to take your dinosaur charges from the bone dry desert to the safety of their lush jungle home.
Each player starts with four different types of herbivorous dinosaurs, the aim is to race your pieces around the bright and colourful playing board, but watch out! There’s a hungry T. rex about – aiming to catch as many of your dinosaurs as he can. This dice based game has proved popular on test with our families, we ourselves have played it in the office, there is a bit of skill and strategy required to make it to home safely. It is certainly a very innovative dinosaur themed board game.

This game is suitable for dinosaur fans from 5 years and upwards, it is easy to play and the rules are quite simple. We played a slight variant swapping the dinosaur shaped counters supplied with the game with some mini dinosaur models, we also added one or two rules of our own, for example, we gave every player four models of the same type of dinosaur, rather than four different ones, as in the conventional game. For each dinosaur species we made a special rule, for example the ornithomimids (speedy ostrich-like dinosaurs) had a weighted dice throw as they could have run more quickly than the other dinosaurs represented in the board game. For the armoured dinosaurs we gave them extra protection so they could resist more effectively a T. rex attack. For the pachycephalosaurs, (boneheads) represented in the board game, we gave them a little more protection, but not as much as the armoured dinosaurs, and a touch more speed, but not as much as the ostrich-like dinosaurs. We enjoyed experimenting with the game to see what other versions we could come up with.
We have lost the rules. Can you post them up for me? Can’t seem to find them in the internet.

Hi… I’m not sure if you’ll know the answers, but I had a few questions regarding the rules for this amazing game: Can a player have more than one of his dinosaurs on a square? Can you choose not to move if you don’t want to? Can you attack on the pink squares? When you have only 1 dinosaur left to get into it’s home square, I’m guessing you can use the throw on just one of your white dice to move them in? Can dinosaurs of different colours land on the same square in the riverbed area? On the pink squares leading into the home squares, can the red and green dinos only go on the square leading into their home and the yellow and blue only go onto the arrowed square leading to their home? If you’re able to help that’d be much appreciated and will sort out some contentious disputes! Thank you
Thank you for your comment, we don’t think it is our place to act as an arbiter in such matters. The rules of the game are open to interpretation on many levels. We suggest that like many of our customers have done is to write the rules that you want to add/change onto pieces of paper, then roll them up and pick half out at random. These first set of additional rules can then be written onto one sheet of paper, the other half can be written onto a second sheet of paper. Then prior to play simply roll the dice to decide which additional rules will come into play for that particular game – odd numbers rule sheet one, even numbers rule sheet two.
This seems to be the most democratic way of creating additional modes of game play.
In common with your other correspondents I’d like to get a copy of the rules please – PDF would be fine. Thank you for your help
