The classic 1990s board game Dino Battle is making its return, as Rebellion Unplugged has announced a upcoming Gamefound campaign to bring the title back into print in English. Originally published in Germany and France in 1993, the dinosaur-focused tabletop game was never released in the US or UK.
Quick Facts
- Game: Dino Battle
- Publisher: Rebellion Unplugged
- Platform: PC (via Wargamer.com coverage on Steam News Hub) / Tabletop Board Game
- Original Release Year: 1993 (Germany and France)
- Co-Designer: Stephen Baker (creator of HeroQuest, Space Crusade, and Heroscape)
What to Expect from the Dino Battle Revival
Co-designed by Stephen Baker—a heavy hitter in the tabletop space known for creating HeroQuest, Space Crusade, and Heroscape—the original release focused squarely on dinosaur-on-dinosaur violence. The upcoming English-language revival from Rebellion Unplugged is set to feature fast-paced, "beer-and-pretzels" Ameritrash gameplay, faithfully updated from the beloved 1990s classic for modern players.
Because the original 1993 print run was restricted to select European markets, many players outside of Germany and France missed out entirely. The upcoming Gamefound crowdfunding campaign marks the first time English-speaking audiences will have official access to the game.
