Checkersaurus Rex is a game kit that contains two different games. The first game is simply Checkers, played with a collection of dinosaurs - with the Tyrannosaurus Rex miniatures used for the kings. The other game is a relatively trivial roll & move with some of the flavor of chutes and ladders combined with some childish goofiness: landing on the "Dino Stomp" square means the player must stand up and stomp about the table; landing on the "Dino Roar" square requires the player to emit a throaty roar; "Dino Food" is probably best not described, for fear of offending the sensitive reader.
