Baladino (fr-en)

It's walk day at Dino Park! The owners are out, accompanied by their faithful pet Dino. A competition is quickly organized: which Dino will be the fastest to reach the park gates? Everyone sets off on the central path, but watch out for Billy, the park's guardian, who is watching over them and can't stand seeing the dinos too far from their owners! In Baladino, players play as owners walking their pet Dino. A race is organized in the central path of Dino Park, and the first Dino to reach the end of the path is declared the winner. Each player must manage the progress of two pawns: their Dino pawn AND their Master pawn. To advance, players roll the die and move either their Dino pawn or their Master pawn. To win the game, only the Dino pawn counts, and it would be logical to only advance this pawn, BUT that's where Billy, the park's guardian, comes in! Billy is strict and can't stand the Dinos being too far from their Master. When a player gets the whistle on the die, if their Dino is more than 3 spaces in front of their Master pawn, they must move their Dino back to the same space as their Master. Everyone has their own technique, bold or cautious, to move forward and win the race! • A simple and quick game • A hint of risk-taking • A game with twists • A strong theme for children
