The Great Dinosaur Rush is on! It's 1880 and you're an eager paleontologist finding fossils in the American West. But you're not alone -- your rivals will stop at nothing to get the best for themselves! In Bone Wars, players take the role of paleontologists during the great "Dinosaur Rush" of the late 19th Century. Most of the wild events in this game are based on things which actually happened. 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. Win by being smart, daring, and sneakier than everyone else!
