Task cards: Mountains, Sea, Forest, Oasis. Each task card shows a homeland (the picture at the top of the card) and two colored eggs at the bottom.
Task: You must move an egg to a suitable homeland, so that the egg will glow with one of the two colors on the card.
The reverse side of each task card shows a Legendary Egg.
Legendary Egg: Collect 5 to win the game.
Movement cards: Velociraptor, Eoraptor, Mosasaurus, Pterodactyl, and a card back. Each movement card shows a travel method (the dinosaur) and the type of path the card lets you move an egg along:
- Velociraptor: move an egg along a Rocky Road.
- Eoraptor: move an egg along a Prehistoric Canyon.
- Mosasaurus: move an egg along Eternal Water.
- Pterodactyl: move an egg along any path.
4 glowing eggs: red, green, blue and yellow.
Game board.
4 homeland tokens: Mountains, Sea, Forest, Oasis.
Instructions.
Preparation
Example game preparation for 4 players.
- Place the board in the center of the table.
- Place the 4 homeland tokens on any 4 different empty spaces. Don't put the tokens onto spaces that have small homeland icons.
- Place the 4 eggs onto 4 different spaces so that each is connected by one path to a different homeland token. It is OK to place eggs in spaces with small homeland icons.
- Shuffle the movement cards and deal 5 to each player.
- Place the remaining movement cards face down in a deck near the board.
- Sort the task cards by homeland into 4 decks and put them face up near the board.
Goal
Whoever first collects 5 Legendary Egg cards wins.
Sequence of Play
The youngest player starts the game. On their turn, a player plays any number of movement cards from their hand and chooses 1 egg to move along paths that match the played cards:
- By playing a Velociraptor card, you can move an egg along a Rocky Road.
- By playing an Eoraptor card, you can move an egg along a Prehistoric Canyon.
- By playing a Mosasaurus card, you can move an egg along Eternal Water.
- A Pterodactyl card lets you move along any path.
After playing each card, you move the egg along 1 path matching that card. There can be only 1 egg in a space.
If you want to move an egg into a space with another egg, you cannot stop there. You must continue moving farther by playing another movement card.
Example: You want to move the egg along the Rocky Road, but there is another egg in the next space. So you must move farther: you play a Velociraptor to move along the Rocky Road and a Mosasaurus to move along the Eternal Water to reach an empty space.
When you play cards, discard those cards near the board. When the deck of movement cards becomes empty, shuffle all discarded cards to make a new deck.
Homelands and Tasks
If you move an egg onto a homeland token, you must stop your turn there. Place the egg onto the homeland token to make the egg light up. Check the top task card of the corresponding homeland deck. If the egg's glowing color matches 1 of the 2 colored eggs on this card, then you successfully completed that task! Take that task card, turn it over to show its Legendary Egg, and place it on the table in front of you.
Example: You move an egg onto the Forest homeland tile, ending your turn. The egg glows yellow. The top card of the Forest task deck has a yellow egg and a blue egg. The egg glowing yellow matches the yellow egg on the task card, so you successfully take the task card!
Then, if the glowing egg matched correctly, you move the egg directly to any empty space with a small homeland icon matching the homeland tile the egg was on.
Example: The glowing egg is on the Forest homeland token. So you must move the egg directly to any empty space with a small Forest icon.
At the end of your turn, you can draw 1 or 2 new movement cards, but you can never have more than 6 cards in your hand. Then the next player in clockwise order starts their turn.
Victory
Each time you fulfill a task card, put it in front of you, showing its Legendary Egg. Whoever first collects 5 is the winner!
