About Hungry Dinosaurs

Hungry Dinosaurs adapts the Othello board game concept into a prehistoric theme. The core objective across multiple rounds is to finish with the highest count of eggs on a nine by nine grid.

Up to four participants can play, each taking turns to place a single egg per turn. Victory in a round is determined by controlling the most spaces when a timer expires, with a full match consisting of several such rounds.

Gameplay revolves around trapping lines of an opponent's pieces between two of your own. When a player flanks a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row of an opponent's eggs, all eggs in that row change colour to the flanking player's side.
