American Megafauna
Dinosaurs and mammals compete to dominate ancient America from the Triassic to the present. Players evolve species by bidding gene coins on genotype and DNA cards, then use them to create animals adapted to changing environments. The game explores ecology, evolution, and genetics, with advanced rules for shifting biomes, greenhouse levels, flooding, glaciation, and climate cycles.
