Dodge life's greatest disasters and try to stay alive in Happy Little Dinosaurs Base Game, a hilarious card game for 2–4 players. Suitable for ages 8 and up, this light, fast-paced game takes about 30–45 minutes to play and combines hand management, player elimination, and a healthy dose of dark humour.
How It Plays
In Happy Little Dinosaurs, you will work to avoid all of life’s little disasters—whether they are Natural, Predatory, or Emotional—while laughing as they happen to your friends. To win, you must be the first dinosaur to reach 50 points on your Escape Route, or simply be the last prehistoric survivor standing.
Each round, a Disaster card is revealed. Players simultaneously play a Point card from their hand, featuring weapons, trinkets, or lucky charms worth 0 to 9 points, to score and dodge the disaster. Watch out: if you accumulate three Disaster cards of the same type, or three completely different types of disasters, you are eliminated! Thankfully, Instant cards can be deployed to tip the odds in your favour and save your dinosaur meeple from certain doom.

Created by the team at Unstable Games, famous for their quirky and highly interactive card games, Happy Little Dinosaurs taps into the universal feeling of dodging everyday catastrophes.
