Dominant Species

90,000 BC. A huge ice age is slowly drawing closer and the world is changing. Among the animals living on earth, a silent struggle to survive begins. Who adapts best? Who holds out as it gets colder and colder? In Dominant Species you take on the role of a major animal class and try to become dominant in as many areas as possible. At the start of the game all the animals are still fairly balanced. You choose mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, arachnids or insects. With your action pawns you decide what you do: grow your species, move to new land, change the environment or push the ice age further along. Every choice counts, because your opponents are not sitting still. While you protect your animals, you are happy to throw a spanner in their works. Whoever collects the most points before the cold strikes wins. This is a game for fans of depth and long evenings at the table. Expect about four hours of puzzling, planning and making exciting choices together. Suitable for 2 to 6 players aged 14 and up. A real challenge for anyone who loves masterful strategy and a tough fight for victory.
