Your goal is to have more victory points (academic notoriety) than your opponent when the draw deck runs out.
Dinos, Dice and Dynamite is a solitaire game designed for the 2014 Solitaire PnP contest. Each round, the player must supply and then decide which activities they and their crew (dice) will do, from finding new sites to dig, to studying fossils, to sabotaging your opponent's discoveries.
The player places generic cubes and six sided dice to mark these choices. The dice may give a bonus to some activities, but they might also prompt a reaction from the AI controlled opponent. The player may nearly uncover a new dinosaur, only to have their work destroyed by a jealous opponent. A combination of careful planning, and riskier sabotage is needed to earn more victory points than your opponent.
