How to play Dinosaurs

Your starter pack is complete and ready for training. Try it, open your boosters, then activate it for your first ranked battle.

Three ecosystems, one Cartoria engine

The technical elements remain Earth, Air and Water; this realm presents them as Fossil, Sky and Swamp. Their advantages form a flexible cycle that mutations can overturn.

Fossil

Basalt, bones, horns and carapaces: solid health and strong Fossil defense.

Sky

Flight, storms and ancient feathers: high attack and strong Sky defense.

Swamp

Lagoons, mud and toxic mist: steady profiles and strong Swamp defense.

From egg to territory

Try your ready-made pack, then open your boosters before activating it. Improvements are optional.

Step 1

Choose your Starter Pack

Pick Fossil, Sky or Swamp. You receive a complete first pack, five standard boosters and 2,000 crystals belonging to Dinosaurs.

Step 2

Explore your starter pack

Your pack contains ten equipped Creatures. It is saved and ready for training; no changes are needed before trying it.

Step 3

Equip the right Mutations

Mutations strengthen compatible Creatures. Compare and change them after training; your starter is already equipped.

Step 4

Finish training

Face another starter pack. Reaching the end unlocks other battle modes without changing Fame or expeditions.

Step 5

Read the replay

Watch each line attack and defend, and see its effects. The battle guide helps you understand your first result.

Step 6

Open your free boosters

After training, open your five standard boosters. New Creatures and Mutations join your collection. Use your crystals for cards on the market, boosters or cosmetics in the shop, and paid arena entries.

Step 7

Study your collection

Filter cards by ecosystem, type, rarity or level. Open a card to compare statistics and check compatibility.

Step 8

Evolve your cards

Optional fusion: five available identical copies at the same level → one card at the next level, up to L5. Without these duplicates, continue with your starter pack.

Step 9

Make your pack active

After opening your boosters, improve your pack if you wish. Save any changes, then choose “Set active”. Your first activation in this realm starts 72 hours of protection from ordinary ranked attacks. You can attack; opponents you defeat can retaliate. Changing packs does not restart protection.

Your first priority

Train with your pack, open your boosters, then activate it. New starters receive three reinforcements after training, the first and third ranked attacks, even defeats, with no expiry or automatic pack changes. Find them in Expeditions → Your first battles.

Need a precise answer?

The Rules page gathers statistics, compatibility, fusion and battle conditions in a reference format. If no ranked opponent is available, the same panel offers four bots so you can keep playing without affecting rankings.
