	Description Edit \| History

From the publishers website:

In BONE WARS, players take the role of paleontologists during the great "Dinosaur Rush" of the late 19th Century.

Out in the field, fossil hunters must survive natural disasters and attempts by other players to steal and destroy dinosaur bones.

Back at the museum, the conflict continues when the scientists carry their battle to the newspapers and scientific journals as they race to achieve scientific immortality!

Bone Wars English rules from templegames former site

Sometime in late 2008 or early 2009 templegames web site went dark. I believe they distributed this game. Here are the English rules in PDF format.
