Once the cards have been dealt,
the dealer starts by offering the first trade.
To trade, simply announce the number of cards you wish to trade,
and exchange them, face down, with any other player who accepts your trade with the same number of cards.
You may trade with anyone at any time provided you follow these rules.
Trades must have equal numbers of cards. (i.e. 3 cards for 3 cards)
.
Trades are made face down (so the cards are hidden)
.
Trades must be composed of either the same dinosaur (same point value)
, or the same bone (same color)
.
The Fake Bone and/or the Paleontologist may be traded by themselves, or attached to any other legal trade.
