This card game makes mahjong even more accessible.
This is the evolved sequel to the hugely popular "Train Whale."
With more combinations, it's a little more thought and strategy.
You win by matching and matching train and dinosaur cards to create a picture combination of all nine cards.
It's intuitive, but it also requires some thought. Enjoy it at home!
It also makes a great gift for elementary school-aged boys.

・Game Details
The objective of the game is to complete all nine cards in your hand into a set.
The rules are similar to mahjong, but without numbers.
To create a set (similar to a face in mahjong), connect the pictures on the cards to complete a dinosaur or train.
A set consists of two carnivorous dinosaurs and three herbivorous dinosaurs.
There is no set number of cards in a set for trains, steam locomotives, or bullet trains.
You can connect cars to make longer and longer trains.
For example, you can win with a combination of six trains and three herbivorous dinosaurs.
You can create a "yaku" by matching cards of the same color or creating a long train.
Will you wait patiently for a big hand, or aim for an early win? This is your chance to show off your skills.
