Dino Meal -- The Steal the Eggs Before the Dinosaur Lunges Game

This game was bought for my dinosaur loving 3 year old. It is a great, easy to learn and do game for a 3 year old. The pieces are tiny so if you have a child that likes to put everything in their mouths, I would like to warn you prior to purchasing.The pieces are checkable sizes. How the game works: The t-rex sits over a leaf that has baby dinosaur eggs in it. You wind up the game. At each turn you have to lift the leaf and use the alligator tweezers to steal an egg. Each time the leaf is lifter, it clicks. At some point The dinosaur will spring down and "Bite" whoever lifted the leaf. That player got caught and is out of the game. The last person standing wins. :-) we play it to wear the if you get caught you don't get an egg and once the eggs run out who ever has the most wins. It's a very simple game. My 3 year old LOVES it. He will even play by himself. It's very entertaining to him. I am very pleased with this buy.

The whole family has fun with this game. I jump almost every time the dinosaur snaps...ok everytime. It is very fun for everyone. My 4 year old has a hard time using the tweezers so she uses her hands. It is still fun! Only flaw is that the on and off switch is on the bottom. It can take a while for the dinosaur to snap and it has happened as soon as 3 openings so it's a surprise every time!

My daughter had a gift card and picked this game. I think the game is fun and great for dinosaur lovers. The first time we played though it launched at my daughter several times and she became a little afraid of it. I do t think it is really scary but might be good to note some younger kids might be afraid of "getting bit"

My son saw this game on a commercial and he really wanted it for his birthday. He loves the game and it really got 5 stars from be when I found out it does take batteries to make the dino roar but you can still completely play the game without him roaring too, now that's a plus! We tried it both ways and the kids said it was just as much fun when it doesn't roar. Its a good game for younger kids but for my 7 year old it got old fast but she still had a blast. Fr my 5 year old it was perfect no reading required and playing the game was simple and easy to follow the instructions.

This game is fun! We played it last night and had so much fun. The eggs can be incredibly difficult to get out while using the tweezer-type tool they provide but that makes it difficult enough for adults, while kids can use their fingers. I'm not sure if it goes off after the same amount of time each time but it doesn't matter. You get so caught up trying to get the eggs, you loose track. My son is 4 years-old and this is really the first game he actually plays.

It isn't every day that I buy a game that I can describe similarly to my love life--challenging, sometimes fun, but mostly ending in frustration. I bought Dino Meal on the suggestion of a friend who has two kids; I have one. Maybe that makes a difference. The premise of the game is pretty simple--take the "eggs" away from the dinosaur before angering the dinosaur so much that she lunges at you menacingly. That's it. You roll a die and try to take an egg (they're marbles with little fake dino head things) of that color using awkward (also like my love life) tweezers. The problem with the game is that it gets a bit boring after a time or two, but it can also be extremely frustrating for kids (and adults). The tweezers don't open much making it difficult to grip, but area guarding the egg doesn't open much. Even my daughter cheating using her fingers is sometimes a hassle. I get the need for a challenge, but there are better ways to do it. Let the case open more with the wider it opens making it more likely that the dinosaur gets annoyed or something. We like it. We play it. It's just not my favorite game to play with her. Still, it's fun for a bit and worth checking out if a kid is into dinosaurs or something.

I bought this for my 5 year old. We played it once and he has not asked to play it again. It didn't grab his attention, there was no sound which i expected it would've had. Unfortunately I'm kinda disappointed! To add, mine didn't even include the tweezers.

My littles love this game! Scared me a bit the first time I played, we all got a good laugh.

Juste perfect the kids really love this game. Allright i haven't figured out how to put it back in the box without the tail sticking out but it doesn't matter ;)

Les enfants adorent 2 et 5 ans. Facile d’assemblage. La prise de la nourriture avec la pince est un peu difficile. Un beau rugissement.

Is a Christmas gift but I think it will be a hit.

Fun easy game to play, it is a little bit scary, but that's part of the fun... Kid's Love it ..

This game is so much fun that even the adults laugh when the dinosaur gets you!
