So finally I'm sitting down and take the time to do it as You can see it is a Chef boy Rd premium item. Namely a dinosaur board game. I Have not opened this envelope. I do not know what's inside it. Oh I'm also doing something that I've been wanting to do for some time namely. I've got two cameras here I've got one sitting on the table right here next to me for close-ups Which I'll be doing plenty of while I open this first of all Take a look at the back of it. There's nothing there, but I want you to notice This envelope is not a decorative Inner envelope. This is the mailing envelope. This has the postage stamped on it. This has the address written on it This is obviously the previous owner or one of the previous owners The postage date here looks like it says 1989 specifically June 1989 take a look. It looks like June 1989. I believe that's 1989 I would have thought that this was much much older, but anyway, there it is 89 He's got the classic Stegosaurus the erupting volcano The Pterodactyl up there the comsignathus it looks like down here All the obligatory stuff and it has the the art has a texture to it Like it was painted on a canvas. It's very nice actually now Let's open this thing up Here's all the color Chef Hoy already Dinosaur adventure game kit each kit contains the dinosaur adventure game board one number die and one picture die Four moving pieces 20 dinosaur picture cards five scenic backdrop and four model dinosaurs now Now we're getting somewhere. Is this the entire board? Yeah, that's the board Adventure begins In the lower right start here airplane landing strip Place photos here. Yeah, this is copyright 1988 Copyright 1988 Where's the end of the game? I don't see an obvious end of the game. Maybe the objective is in the gameplay Here is a Painted diorama this is from the this is the color version of Obviously what was on the envelope What I thought was an ornithomimus before was a Brontosaurus of some kind. I guess this is supposed to stand up like this and Let's look at the Contents see we've got a triceratops Stegosaurus, I guess these are standees. Yeah, okay, we've got four dinosaurs and I Guess these are the moving pieces All right, here's our four moving pieces are ethnically mixed buddies here Right and these are the die I guess folding paper die Scenic backdrop and four model dinosaurs. Okay. That's what these are the Tyrannosaurus the Patosaurus good they call it a patosaurus not Brontosaurus Although I guess Brontosaurus is back these days Let's put together one of these one of these model dinosaurs as they call it. I'll only put together one of these I don't want to do too much folding because I'd rather preserve the thing. I'd rather preserve the set than Try to make it perfectly usable All right, there we go There's a standing stegosaurus We could do the same with the triceratops and all of All the dinosaur pals, but I'll skip that for now log bridge The log bridge move two spaces. I guess this would go somewhere on the yeah, it would go right here on the game board and then some sort of bamboo structure that would go here and a Stone bridge of some kind that folds and goes right here. It looks like Okay, a word about dinosaurs A patosaurus is the correct name for Brontosaurus Boy, oh boy So these are the instructions for the game just this stuff in the middle I've just got the game to be the explorer who gets all five photos of the different dinosaurs on the game board squares and Gets back to the airstrip first. Okay, so you you get back to the airstrip first. I almost forgot all the Dinosaur photo cards these have never been separated That's nice. There's a sorrow of us. He doesn't have his own standee. I've said Before starting carefully punched about okay, Nana There are two playing die one numbered die for moving around place the backdrop before model lines, okay? Let's get to the instruction how to play okay It looks like there's just four instructions begin by determining the order of play our all players roll the number die to see who goes first Place your character on the landing strip Roll the number died to determine number of spaces you move you may move in either direction Follow the instructions on game board. Okay. That's the game. I guess Whenever you land on dinosaur photo square roll the picture die to see if you can take a photo Okay So this has a lot of a lot in common with that With that Pokemon snap game So the the goals is to take pictures of dinosaurs There's no killing. There's no hunting. There's no violence. That's great. I Like this I approve Players should keep their photos face up players may not collect doubles of any picture They already have do not roll the picture die if you land on a photo square picture you already have If you land on a quick question square, you may not repeat an answer already given Hint for answer clues study the dinosaur models. Ah, so the dinosaur models Serve a gameplay purpose. It's not just for decoration. If you answer a question correctly, you may move one square in either direction Here are some recommendations for what to do with the backdrop in the dinosaur models arrange on your dresser as a Display for school project. You can add sticks grass and stones and other materials hanging a mobile Number five is use other action figures number four is what gets me Play hide the dino Okay, we'll skip that Anyway, there it is Looks like simple gameplay the idea of taking pictures of dinosaurs as You're navigating the board is a neat idea That was a little bit before it's time. I think this is really cute Shift boy rd dinosaur game
