How This Game Works
The rules stick close to the original Go Fish. Each player is dealt cards and takes turns asking others for a specific dinosaur. If the asked player has it, they hand it over; if not, the asker draws from the deck. The goal is to collect the most pairs. Detailed instructions are included, so even new players can jump in quickly. With straightforward rules, kids can teach themselves after a round or two.

The deck covers 40 different dinosaurs, each with a fact card that lists its name, what it ate, and its estimated size.

The Purple Cow Go Fish! series includes other themed decks covering landmarks, flags, animals, and famous individuals. This predators edition is one of several ways to build world knowledge through play.
