Orchard Game - Dinosaur Dig

Dig and discover dinosaur bones in this fun prehistoric fossil finding game! Players race to be the first to collect all their dinosaur bones. Each player selects a pickaxe in their chosen colour, which matches the colour of their dinosaur. Using the fossil-finding pick, players take turns to hook a bone from the 3D board. If the number matches their pick’s colour, they add the bone to their dino’s body.

BUT beware—the dreaded T-Rex card is hiding in the board! If you hook one, you'll have to return a bone to the dig site. The first player to complete their colourful 3D dinosaur is the winner!

Perfect for young dinosaur fans, Dinosaur Dig is packed with playful suspense and developmental learning. Players will have lots of fun developing matching and memory skills while improving hand-eye coordination and engaging in social discussion during gameplay. Designed for ages 4+, this game delivers the perfect blend of excitement, challenge, and hands-on discovery.
