-====== Zeppelins vs. Pterodactyls ======
-===== Introduction =====
-A lost world has been discovered! Beasts from another age wander the savage land, guarding fabulous treasures!
-You must navigate your zeppelin over the lost world, fighting off pterodactyls and swooping up treasure and supplies. But beware! Other treasure-seekers compete with you.
-Zeppelins vs. Pterodactyls comes with a deck of cards that is laid out to create the game board. This makes each game different, as each card provides different rewards.

-===== The Rules =====
-This is a board/card/dice game for 2-6 players. All dice are six-sided.
-You are flying a zeppelin over a lost world that is itself filled with dinosaurs and treasure. You are trying to collect 3 treasures.
-==== Setup ====
-To begin the game, lay out the deck of terrain cards in any order and shape desired.
-Each player, in turn, places a pterodactyl on top of any terrain card that is not on the edge. There are a total of 5 pterodactyls. All 5 pterodactyl cards are also placed face-up to one side of the playing area.
-Each player then places his or her zeppelin on top of one terrain card on the border of the terrain, and takes a total of 16 armor and cannonball tokens (8 of each, or any combination totaling 16).
-==== Play ====
-Play proceeds in rounds. Each player has a turn in each round.

-=== Moving ===
-On her first turn, the player places her zeppelin on any unoccupied tile on the border of the grid.
-At the start of every other turn, the player must move her zeppelin to an adjacent tile.
-If the card beneath the zeppelin is blank, flip the card over. If the revealed card shows a spot for treasure, cannonballs, or armor, place an appropriate number treasure, armor, or cannonball tokens on that card. Each card remains flipped for the rest of the game.
-=== Descending for Loot ===
-A zeppelin can, instead of moving, decide to lower its altitude. If it does this, its player faces an attack from a dinosaur. The dinosaur must be defeated before the loot on that tile may be taken. Roll a die to determine if you are hit by a dinosaur (lose one armor token).
-=== Attacking ===
-After moving or descending for loot, each zeppelin can fire a cannon at another zeppelin or a pterodactyl. A zeppelin can hit an enemy in its own square or an adjacent square on a 4-6, one square away on 5-6, and two squares away on 6.
-If a zeppelin is hit, its player discards one armor token. A pterodactyl can only take one hit.
-When a player kills a pterodactyl, the player immediately places the pterodactyl's token on any border card that is at least 2 cards from any zeppelin, creating a new pterodactyl.
-=== Pterodactyls ===
-At the end of a player's round, he chooses one pterodactyl card, flips it face-down, and moves the corresponding pterodactyl. That pterodactyl then attacks the nearest zeppelin. If multiple zeppelins are in range, roll a die.
-==== Winning ====
-The first zeppelin that collects 3 treasures wins the game.
