Dino me!
I'm just beginning to attempt metas online (we'll see how this goes), so it was, nice, today, to have an easy one.
Thanks, Will!

Solved on paper but figured out I could select REVEAL the puzzle to avoid filling in the grid online. Love the instant feedback.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

Exactly right!
Will has mentioned this previously. Feel free to solve "outboard" via the PUZ / PDF if you prefer.
Then jump to Crosshare, hit Reveal to get to the meta prompt to make your submission.

I needed google to get out of the box. That reflects my knowledge of tabletop games, not the popularity of this one.

Crosshare has confirmed that I have exited the box and had fun while doing so.

Wow I must be getting stupider and stupider because the last two weeks I've needed hints and nudges for every meta that came my way...
Luckily I don't get paid for this!

Dino me.
I've heard of the game, but I was not that familiar with it - google helped!

me. Fun puzzle, but I had to Google also. I may have played this game once about 35 years ago, but I’m not sure.-

I also googled, but the answer has given me an ear worm - an old Saturday morning commercial from my youth for the meta answer!
