Prehistoric Park: Race to the Rescue is a board game based on Prehistoric Park.
Rules and gameplay[]
The game can be played by up to four people. The player's goal is to fill their park with one of each animal (Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Woolly Mammoth, Elasmotherium, Microraptor, Nyctosaurus, Meganeura, and Arthropleura), then return home through the time portal.
Each player chooses a character (Nigel, Bob, and two unnamed female characters), and one of four time periods (Cretaceous (early and late), Pleistocene, Carboniferous) to start in. The player uses a large, wooden dice to move their character along the squares around the time period. There are a number of squares the player can land on: creature squares, which allow the player to add the revelevant creature to their park; danger squares, which force the player to miss a turn; temporary portals, which allow the player to go to another period or rescue any animal from that period; and the time portal itself, which allows the player to go to another period.
The first player to collect all eight creatures and get back to the time portal wins the game.

Trivia[]
- The Nyctosaurus is simply identified as just Pterosaur by the game, and appears in the Early Cretaceous section of the board instead of the Late Cretaceous section.
- The reason for this may simply be that the makers of the game needed to balance out the number of rescuable animals for each of the featured time periods.
