Co-op games usually pit you against a clever deck or a ticking timer. Uh Oh, Dino! pits you against the floor. In this cheerful family co-op from Ludoliminal, the late-Jurassic ground starts shaking the moment you sit down, and your job is to ferry your dinosaurs' precious eggs back to the nest before earthquakes and creeping lava swallow the path.

Where Diatoms is a quiet, brainy puzzle, Uh Oh, Dino! is a chunky, tactile romp for 2-4 players that sets up in two minutes and wraps in about 25. Each turn you draw tokens from a bag of danger to see how the terrain shifts, then guide a family of sturdy wooden dinos across a board that is actively trying to collapse beneath them, gathering up the scattered eggs as you go. Because everyone is on the same side, it is an easy one to pull out with kids, or with friends who would rather not sit through a rulebook.
The game makes its convention debut at Gen Con 2026, where Ludoliminal is exhibiting for the first time, and it funded on Kickstarter ahead of a wider release. The satisfying wooden bits and the constant "oh no, the lava" tension make it a strong pick for family game night, or a gentle gateway co-op for a group that has only ever played cut-throat.
