About

Lost in Jurassica is a survival card game with fighting, crafting and scavenging. You play as a visiting guest to Jurassica, an amazing island dinosaur resort. Unfortunately the dinosaurs have escaped, leaving you and your friends to fight for survival! Be the first player to win by finding power switches and restoring power to the park - all while scavenging for supplies and fighting off dangerous dinosaurs with improvised weapons! Players choose who goes first - we suggest the youngest player. Make sure there are 3 power switches per player placed in the explore deck. After shuffling each deck separately, Arrange the 3 decks (Explore, Scavenge, Craft) face down on the table in a line next to each other. The selected Player One goes first and remaining Players take turns in a clockwise direction. On your turn you can pick up 2 cards from the top of any deck. (Explore, Scavenge, Craft). You are allowed to pickup any deck of your choice, for example, 1 'Explore' card and 1 'Craft' card based on what you need. The aim of the game is to make your way through the 'Explore' deck and find 3 Power Switches that are hidden in the deck. The first player to do so wins the game. Once you receive foe cards totaling -4 hit points, you cannot advance any further in the 'Explore' deck. You must then craft items picked up from the 'Craft' deck, to remove dinosaur cards cards, using scavenged materials from the 'Scavenge' deck. There are also helpful cards scattered throughout each deck that are free to use once found. These are discarded once used. -description from designer
