Description

Protecting your planet from marauding humans!

In ancient times we were the terrible lizards, red in tooth and claw. But we evolved. It took millennia, but we formed communities, cities, a whole civilization. With scientific advances, we were finally ready to take our first steps beyond our atmosphere.

Then they came.

They claimed to come in peace, but they lied. Before we knew what had happened, they invaded us. They meant to wipe us out.

They called themselves Humans. They called us Dinosaurs.

Now, as a fractured people, we must bring the fight to them.

This is a solo TTRPG, based on a variation of blackjack (or pontoon) instead of dice.

You are a Dino, fighting invading humans across the landscape, making sure you have enough food and health, and gathering glory in the form of Dinocreds!

This has been made for #Solovember game jam.

I call the mechanic Curtin's Blackjack, and it's currently exclusive to me...!

It's layout is trifold, which confuses me, so I put page numbers.
