Win Your Very Own Copy Of Dino Bite!

A couple of weeks ago I reviewed the fantastic new action game Dino Bite! My kids love it, I love it and now one of you can too. In our latest competition we are giving you the chance to win your very own copy of Dino Bite courtesy of Drumond Park.

DINO BITE – new monster action game for fearsome, spine-tingling fun

A fearsome T-Rex dinosaur is perched on top of a Dino nest. A large green leaf covers a collection of twenty tiny, helpless blue, red, yellow and green baby dinosaurs who’ve been stolen from another dinosaur’s nest, and are now awaiting their fate… Each player takes it in turn to rescue an egg from the nest with the tweezers supplied. With each roll of the coloured dice the players carefully lift the edge of the leaf, steadily move their tweezers into the nest, grasp the baby and lift it out to safety! Or it’s fine for younger players to use their fingers instead of the tweezers, if they like. But beware and be on your guard… that bad-tempered old Dino knows exactly what you’re after, and when he spots you, he’ll wait his chance, then roar out loud and lunge terrifyingly towards you. And that means you are OUT!

For stockists visit www.drumondpark.com or call 01506 855577

Age 4+, £19.99

So if your children fancy their chances against this fearsome beast, or if you just need a little something to occupy them (mine are still enthralled by it) then this is the competition for you.
