Four Cards for a dinosaur skeleton

This card game takes us back into the time of the dinosaurs; we look for skeletons and want to become famous because of them. Action cards and dinosaur cards are shuffled together with „start of excavation“ card and then laid out in a 8x6 grid. Then you remove the card “start of excavation” from the grid to form the first gap. The active player takes an accessible card which is a card that borders the gap, out of the excavation grid. Dinosaur cards are laid out before the players, a complete set of four cards is turned over. Action cards are turned over within the grid; rocks remain in the grid; the other action cards are implemented and then taken out of the grid. You can use them to: Steal a card from another player, swap a card with that of another player or discard one of your own cards; in all these actions complete skeletons are exempt. For the action card double move you take ttwo dinosaur cards out of the excavation grid, you cannot take an action card.

If the action card cannot be implemented, because, for instance, you have no single card to discard or swap, you simply discard the action card.

When the last accessible dinosaur card is removed according to the rules you score for your dinosaur cards: 1 point for each single card, 3 points for two cards and 6 points for three cards of the same dinosaur; a complete skeleton of four cards scores 10 points.

Jurassik is a simple set collecting game, if you like, it is a Happy Families version, in which you do not ask for cards but collect them from the grid; a game neatly targeted at children with a simple mechanism and an interesting topic.
