Explorers of the Lost Isle by Gameasaurus

In their philanthropic ventures, a Dr. Argo has discovered an old journal from a failed mission describing an ancient dinosaur entity, that, if summoned, can wreak havoc and destroy the world as we know it. The journal also detailed a way to prevent the summoning, but whoever tried before was unsuccessful. Four dinosaur bones must be discarded in a nearby volcano to prevent the dinosaur from ever joining this mortal plane again. The journal says that the angry dinosaur spirit still haunts the island where his bones lie, vowing vengeance against any who excavate the area. The dinosaur spirit controls apparitions of dinosaurs that move across the island and attack the explorers! As time and excavations pass, the spirit can become more powerful, injuring the expeditionists, sucking their souls, and god forbid, coming to life. Dr. Argo has assembled your team and sent you to this island to stop the spirit before it is too late!

Rules / Instructions

3 Players are explorers, who move around the island uncovering tiles, trying to avoid haunted tiles. One player is the Dinosaur Spirit, who controls the ghostly apparations that roam the island, attacking the explorers to try to stop them. Take too long to destroy his bones, and the dinosaur spirit might be able to remake his physical form!
