Happy Little Dinosaurs is a chaotic and charming card game for 2–4 players in which everyone is just trying to make it through life’s endless stream of disasters. Each round, a Disaster card is revealed - Natural, Predatory, or Emotional - and players simultaneously play a Point card in hopes of dodging it. The player with the lowest score cops the disaster, and if you accumulate three of the same type or one of each, you’re out. The first dino to hit 50 points on their Escape Route track, or the last one standing, wins.

The gameplay is quick and delightfully mean-spirited, driven by numbered Point cards and Instant cards that let you meddle with other players at just the right moment. With cute dinosaur meeples, colourful player boards, and a sense of humour baked into every card, it leans hard into its theme - you might survive a meteor strike only to get ghosted by your dino date.

Happy Little Dinosaurs is a light, accessible game that works just as well as a party opener as it does a family game night staple. It plays fast, hits the table easily, and reliably produces the kind of table talk and laughter that keeps everyone coming back for one more round.
