Happy Little Dinosaurs: Dating Disasters Expansion – 54-Card Add-On for Awkward First Dates
Happy Little Dinosaurs: Dating Disasters Expansion is a 54-card add-on for the base Happy Little Dinosaurs card game. It introduces awkward first-date scenarios—think getting friend-zoned or a date saying ‘I love you’ too soon—alongside new Point, Instant, and Disaster cards. Designed for 2–4 players aged 8 and up, a typical game lasts 30–60 minutes.
What’s in the 54-Card Dating Disasters Expansion?
The expansion includes 54 cards that blend dating-themed humor with the same disaster-dodging mechanics as the original game. You’ll find new Disaster cards (Natural, Predatory, Emotional), Point cards with values 0–9 (weapons, trinkets, good luck charms), and Instant cards that can shift the odds. The artwork and text poke fun at dating mishaps like a giant catfish appearing or someone saying “I love you” way too early.
How Does Dating Disasters Change Gameplay?
To use this expansion, shuffle the 54 cards into the base Happy Little Dinosaurs deck and follow the standard rules. The goal remains: be the first to 50 points or the last dinosaur standing. Each round, a Disaster card is flipped, and players play Point cards to score while avoiding that disaster. If you collect three Disaster cards of the same type or three different types, you’re eliminated. The new cards simply add more variety and thematic flavor—expect more laughter as dinosaurs fumble through dating.
