The era of the dinosaurs is here! Your goal in Chomp is to form herds of dinos and make sure they are all fed. Herbivores and carnivores both need food sources, but if the carnies are not properly fed, they don't mind chomping an herbie to fill their bellies!

Gameplay involves dual rows of goal tiles and dino tiles, and each turn players select one tile to add to their personal arrangement. Goal tiles stay off to the side for endgame scoring, and dino tiles are arranged in front of each player. Dino tiles include three sizes each of herbivores and carnivores. Each tile must overlap previous ones, either on top of a quarter tile, half tile, or even a whole tile, ensuring that any covered dinos are completely hidden.

Adjacent dinos of the same species form herds, which will eat together if connected to a single food source — or die together if they are unfed, adjacent to a tar pit, or next to an otherwise unfed carnivore!

At the end of the game, each living and fed dino scores 1-3 points depending on its size, and the player with the highest score wins.

  • Features vibrant colors and clear and concise scoring instruction and iconography.
  • Low barrier to entry and learning curves allowing a quick and comprehensive learn to play (approximately 5 minutes or so)
  • Ease of rule set allows skilled and beginners alike the opportunity to have fun and be competitive.
  • Innovative card laying and tableau building lends to high replayability and interesting choices.

Carter V. ★★★★★

I picked this up thinking it'd be a light little dino game and ended up playing four rounds back to back. Building a herd and then realizing the carnivores still need feeding keeps every turn tense in the best way. The art is charming too.

Kevin P. ★★★★★

Setup is quick and the herd-building mechanic is clever — balancing herbivores and carnivores adds real tension. My family kept fighting over who got to feed the T-Rex first.

Emily X. ★★★★★

Teaching the herbivore-versus-carnivore feeding balance to my kids took two rounds, but now they actually plan their herds before placing tiles. The art on the dino cards is charming, and games wrap in about 30 minutes.
