Overview

In Happy Little Dinosaurs, you play as a small dinosaur trying to survive the daily disasters of prehistoric life. Each round, a Disaster card is revealed, representing a Natural, Predatory, or Emotional catastrophe. Players simultaneously play a Point card, hoping to score points and avoid the specific disaster. Navigating lava pits, avoiding predators, and dealing with emotional turmoil are all part of the game.

The core gameplay revolves around mitigating disasters and collecting points. The first player to reach 50 points, or the last dinosaur standing after everyone else has succumbed to the disasters, wins the game. It's a game of managing risk, pushing your luck, and hoping your little dinosaur can outlast the chaos of the prehistoric world.
