Pop Up T-Rex (TM-T73290)
Pop Up T-Rex is a kids' action game from TOMY for 2–4 players, ages 4+.
How it plays
A dinosaur is trying to escape from his crate. Take turns sliding one of your colored bones into the slots around the crate.
If nothing happens, you're safe. If the T-Rex pops out, you're out! Press him back in and keep going; nobody knows which slot will set him off next. The last explorer left wins.
