Rules of the Game
- There are two different teams in Dinosaurs. Those that are wearing jerseys are the Raptors and the players that are not wearing
jerseys are Long-Necks.
- Every Long-Neck Dinosaur starts the game with one egg (soccer ball) they must protect. They will all start in front of a cone with one
foot on the ball which will signal they are ready to play
- The Raptors will start the game in the middle of the nest (coned area)
- The goal of the game for the Raptors is to kick all the eggs out of the nest. The goal of the game for the Long-Necks is to keep their
eggs alive for as long as they can.
- If a Long-Necks' egg get kicked out of the nest, they are not out of the game. They need to stay inside the nest and help the other
Long-Necks. They can help by receiving passes from other Long-Necks to keep the eggs away from the Raptors and/or stay on the
perimeter of the edge of the nest and try to keep any eggs from being kicked out.
- If an egg leaves the nest it cannot be brought back into the game. No player is allowed to leave the nest once the game starts.
- If an egg leaves the nest for any reason it is out. Even if a Long-Neck accidentally kicks their own egg out.
- If a Long-Neck receives a pass from another Long-Neck that egg is now their egg. Long-Necks are not allowed to steal eggs from
other Long-Necks. If they steal from their own team they will not be allowed to finish the game and will have to sit out until a new
game begins.
- If a Raptor has an egg, a Long-Neck is allowed to steal it back from them.
- Just as Long-Necks are one team, the Raptors are all one team as well. They are allowed to team up and attack one Long-Neck in
order to kick their egg out of the nest. Raptors are also allowed to pass the ball between them.
- If a Raptor kicks the egg away from a Long-Neck but it does not go out of the nest, it is still in-play. The Long-Neck that lost the egg
may run over and regain control of the egg, or another Long-Neck may come over and establish control over the egg. A Raptor is
also allowed to chase down the egg and continue their attack in trying to kick the egg out of the nest.
- Diving, sliding, crawling, and rolling on the ground is not allowed in this game.
- When all the eggs have been kicked out of the nest, the game is over.
