Scoring
Successfully complete the task on your card before time runs out to win
the card. Each card is worth 1 point. The first team to 10 points wins the game.
Unless stated, head-to-head challenges are NOT timed, and the team that com-
pletes the challenge first wins the card—even if it wasn’t their turn. That’s why it’s
important to practice your tiny arm skills!
Categories
Read before you roll! The icon you roll determines the category
of challenge you’ll attempt. Follow these instructions to prepare:
Prehistoric Pickup – Place all the foam pieces
on the table for easy access when stacking.
Cretaceous Charades – Shh! No talking or
sound effects while acting!
Dino Drawing – Remove the cap from the
pen and place the paper on the table so
you’re ready when the timer starts. Your teammates guess while you draw.
Rumble –
If you draw a challenge card that requires something from
around the house, gather the necessary prop before starting the
timer. If you are performing a challenge against an opponent, make sure
each player is armed and ready (1 T-Rex arm each!) before the timer
starts.
We Pick –
Announce the category you’ve selected and then draw a card.
They Pick – The opposing team chooses a category, then the person who
rolled the die draws a card.

Objective
Score points using your tiny T-Rex arms to perform simple, everyday tasks. The first
team to successfully complete 10 tasks before time runs out wins the game!
Setup
1. Gather around a table and divide into 2 equal teams.
2. Shuffle the deck of challenge cards and place them in the center of the table.
3. Each team uses one T-Rex arm to roll the die—the team that rolls goes first.
How to Play
1. Each team decides the order in which its members will play. This will remain the
same throughout the game.
2. The first player on the first team rolls the die to determine their category
of play. (See “Categories.”)
3. Draw a card and find the clue with the matching category.
4. Adjust the strap so the washer fits in your human armpit… magically
transforming you into a T-Rex. (See “Using your T-Rex arms.”) Be sure
to hold the washer tightly. If it falls out while playing, you must stop what
you are doing and replace it before continuing your challenge.
5. The opposing team counts down “3, 2, 1” and flips the timer. The player uses their
tiny arms to complete the challenge. Finish before time runs out to win the card, or,
if not, place it in a discard pile.
6. Teams take turns playing until one team wins 10 cards, proving that they
are the Kings of the Cretaceous. (Triumphant roars and tiny arm victory
dances are encouraged.)
Using your T-Rex arms
Your tiny T-Rex arms have a sliding lever that controls each claw. Insert your thumb
through the hole and use your index finger on top and middle finger on bottom
to pull the lever back to close your claw. Release your fingers to open the claw.
There is an adjustable strap connected to a washer on each arm. Before each player’s
turn, adjust the strap so the washer is secured in the player’s armpit.
If the washer falls out while playing, you must stop what you are doing and replace it
before continuing your challenge.
