Colorful box of the board game "Dino World" featuring dinosaur illustrations, with a warning label about choking hazards. Designed by Marco Pranzo, Virginio Gigli, and Flaminia Brasini, and manufactured by HABA in Germany.

Note: This is a short really early legacy review before I started posting longer form review in our Facebook Group.

Game 5 of my half term spending spree is a slightly smaller game than I have shown in recent days and that is Dino World that I played with Toby(3) during some increasingly rare “alone time with one child”.

The rules are simple you each get an identical set of dinosaur cards (bigger Dinosaurs are bigger cards) and you then have to flick Dinosaur cards off the box and cover smaller Dinosaurs in a sort of dexterity top trumps.

There is some strategy of what card to use when but generally there is a lot of luck involved in the flick.

Cards are fine but I must admit although it was cheap (£10) I would have preferred it slightly more expensive and the usual Haba high production values (maybe a cardboard rock that you flick them off rather than the box).

Toby kinda enjoyed it but it was all a bit meh tbh and there are definitely better dexterity games out there.

Not one I can completely recommend but not terrible and worth it maybe for a few pounds if it was on offer.
