Chomp is an engaging tile-laying game by Allplay where players collect and feed dinosaurs to form the largest and healthiest herds. Each card in the game has a point-scoring goal on one side and a dinosaur landscape on the other side. During the game, players take turns choosing a card from rows of three goal cards and three dino cards. If you take a goal card, it helps direct your strategy to score points at the end of the game. If you take a dino card, you add it to your dino-land. The game consists of eight turns, so it's crucial to make the most of each turn.
How is the game played?
- Card selection: Each turn, players take turns choosing a card from rows of three goal cards and three dino cards.
- Placing dino cards: Dino cards are added to your personal dinosaur land, where you try to form herds and ensure all dinosaurs are fed.
- Goal cards: These cards determine your strategy and help in scoring points at the end of the game.
- Feeding dinosaurs: Both herbivores and carnivores need food sources. If the carnivores are not properly fed, they don't mind chomping an herbie to fill their bellies.
After eight turns, players tally their points based on the fed dinosaurs and achieved goals. The player with the most points wins the game.
