kiwizou board game baladino

In the Baladino board game from the French brand Kiwizou, owners take their dinos out for a fun walk, when the stroll suddenly turns into a race! Under the watchful eye of park ranger Billy, the dinos try to be the first to dash out of the park. Watch out, though: stay close to your owner, or Billy will step in.

Setup:
1. Assemble the game board and place it in the center of the table.
2. Shuffle the bench cards and place them in a stack (bench side up) next to the board.
3. Keep the die within reach.
4. Place the Billy card in plain sight next to the board.
5. Each player chooses a color duo (dino + owner) and places the matching card in front of them.
6. Put the owner on the first space of the path, and the dino on the second space.

The player who most recently saw a dinosaur goes first. Roll the die. You must move either the owner or the dino forward by the number of spaces rolled. If you choose the dino, you must move it forward to the very next space with dino footprints. If there are no more footprints ahead of you, your dino stays put.

Billy checks to make sure your dino is still walking nicely with its owner. If your dino is a maximum of 3 spaces ahead of or behind its owner, everything is fine. If it is more than 3 spaces ahead of its owner, Billy blows his whistle strictly: you have to move your dino back to its owner's space. After that, you still move either the owner or the dino one space forward.

Whenever the owner lands on a space with a bench, draw the top bench card from the stack and immediately carry out the action shown on it.

As soon as the first dino passes the final space and runs out the gate, the game ends and that player wins! Gather your duo and let the park race begin.
