We've played more than a few rounds already using our review copy provided for review and enjoyed the ease of play for the Preschool crowd. Game play is aimed at the 4+ crowd with a simple goal - trying to move the fastest along the tracks. Players travel through the three dinosaur eras: Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. Special Stopwatch spaces advance players closer to the nest, while Dinosaur Crossing spaces send them back. The first player to reach the nest area in the center of the board wins.
This game is based on the series DINOSAUR TRAIN which cleverly embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains. This top-rated, award-winning series, which airs on PBS KIDS®, encourages basic scientific thinking skills as the audience learns about life science, natural history and paleontology.
An all-new season of the hit TV series is currently in production with new episodes slated to premiere on PBS KIDS ® in fall 2011. Visit www.pbskids.org/dinosaurtrain for more info on this great series and licensed products.
