Abstract: An apparatus for playing a boardgame for young people and adults. The game board of the present invention comprises an open, continuous route of dinosaur footprints colored-coded or otherwise marked for contingency circumstances which occur during game play and four closed routes called "homepaths" on which only a particular player or team may enter after making at least one circuit of the outer perimeter of dinosaur footprints. The Cave in the center provides a homebase or final goal. The object of the game is to capture the most dinosaurs and to land the most dinosaurs on the Cave. An EVENT CARD, color-coded to work in conjunction with the color-coded footprints, lists the events which occur when landing on the color-coded footprint. ACTION CARDS, also color-coded, give the players the instructions to follow each time an event occurs. Many levels of the game may be played by adding question and answer cards. Another alternative object of the game is to collect a set of color-coded matching cards.
