T-Rex Tells

A fun command is revealed But don’t start moving yet! Only perform the action if you see a dino Otherwise the results will be bad!

T-Rex Tells is basically an educational (board) game version of Simon Says. Every round, reveal two cards, one from a “dino deck” and one from an “action deck”. All players must immediately execute the action shown … but only if there’s a dino in front of it!

It’s a great game for children to learn “discrimination” of objects. They must watch for the simplest of differences—dino or not?—and act differently based on what they see. By combining it with a deck of “movements”, players get their exercise while learning this crucial skill.

For clarity, the cards contain English text descriptions of their action too. But this game can be enjoyed in any language, because you only need to know the rules and recognize clear images. That’s why we made this game! To immediately give you fun cards and simple rules to play a better version of “Simon Says” with any group.

REMARK! If you don’t need that, you can find any number of “command ideas” online to use for free. But they require players who can read/understand English, and it might be hard to combine them with our fun expansions and variants.

We also added a large number of optional expansion cards for older players. Those contain a written description of a more complicated action or movement, such as adding two numbers. These cards work together perfectly with the other cards and expansions, keeping the game fun and challenging at all ages.

The vast majority of the game material are those “Action Cards”, which is why we made those as “ink friendly” as possible. They’re almost completely white. The other cards have more color and design to them because there’s far fewer of them. We couldn’t make the entire game grayscale (for maximum ink saving) this time because there are numerous cards for which color matters.

We realize, though, that these cards are still only a subset of all possibilities (in terms of commands and gameplay) with this idea. That’s why we also provide the original, editable, raw assets so you can customize them however you want.
