Exquisite Prehistoric Models
The Dinoniche core set features 18 exquisite scientifically accurate models of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. The largest models including T. rex and Quetzalcoatlus have bases that are 4 inches (10 cm) accross. Many of these models were designed by well known artists DinoandDog and MuseumMiniatures.
2-6 Players
Ages 14+
2-3 Hours
Asymmetric Species Abilities 🐊
Each species' card has a unique set of keywords that makes its gameplay engaging and scientifically accurate. For example, T. rex can drag carcasses around, Triceratops and Pachycephalosaurus can mock charge potential attackers forcing them to gain hunger and thirst, and Dakotaraptor steals the stars from any animal it defeats.
Simple Strategic Gameplay
Two Actions Per Turn
On your turn you will do two actions using your character's unique abilities and gameplay to hunt, defend, feed, reproduce, and otherwise fill their niche in their environment.
Manage your Needs
Your opponents aren't your only enemy on the board. Your hunger and thirst are just as dangerous. Keep in mind that other players can use them against you. For instance, enemy Triceratops can mock charge your carnivores, forcing them to gain more hunger and thirst.
Complete your Objectives
Each species has a set of objectives that it can accomplish to gain stars. Be aware that the most rewarding options often come with risk. Carnivores get a lot of stars for successful attacks, but their opponents gain stars if their attacks are unsuccessful.

Avoid Armedeggon ☄️
In the last round of the game you will draw an extinction card. These can have a variety of effects from allowing herbivores to attack each other all the way up to defeating every giant dinosaur on the board. You must prepare for every eventuality as the worst day in earth's history looms.
Customizable Models
No minis game is complete without painted models. Paint yours for an even more authentic Hell Creek experience.
Everything you Need to Start your Prehistoric Journey
The Hell Creek Starter Set Includes everything one player will need to field a full list, or 2-3 players will need to play an abridged version of the game. Whether you are a competitive gamer or a casual Dino fan, this is the perfect place to start!
This is Just the Beginning
Future releases will allow you to mix and match your favorite prehistoric animals of all time. For a small star penalty you may ignore space and time and take any animals you want to your game.
