For 2 players Shuffle the Dinosaur Cards (no Special Cards needed) and give exactly half to each player. During each round, each player plays the top card of her/his deck, simultaneously. Compare the dinosaur scores. The card with the highest score wins each battle. If the winner is a carnivore, it eats the other creature (remove the hapless dinosaur from play). If the winning dinosaur is not a carnivore, it captures the other card, and the winner places both cards on the bottom of her/his deck. In case of a tie (where the dinosaur scores are the same), and only one of them is a carnivore, then the carnivore captures -- but does not eat -- the other dinosaur, and the winner gets both cards. If both cards are herbivores or both are carnivores, then the battle is a tie. In case of a tie, both players must deal two cards into a kitty, then draw a third card. The scores of the third cards are compared, and the winner of this battle captures the cards in the kitty. When one player has all the cards, she/he wins. Yaargh!
