Playmobil: Dinoworld

Small children's coop game in which you try to save the dinosaurs from an erupting vulcano. Dinosaur counters come in four distinct colors. They are mingled with some explorer counters and then put face down in the middle of the table. The players take turns in rolling the die. When one of the colors turns up, the player throws a cardboard lasso, trying to catch one or more counters. Those are turned faced up and the ones matching the color of the die roll are considered rescued and taken out of the game. Explorer counters are simply taken out of the game. Non matching counters are turned face down again. When a vulcano is thrown, one of five vulcano pieces is turned over. When all five pieces are turned over the game is lost. If players succeed in rescueing all dinosaurs before that happens, they win the game jointly. WARNING: the Playmobil theme is a loose one and although the cover art suggests that you might expect to find some real dinosaur playing pieces in the box, this is a plain cardboard game.
