Dinosaurs roam the earth again in the latest twist on Ecologies! ⠀ This new game take things back to bygone eras such as the Cambrian ocean, Cretaceous forest, and the Pleistocene Tundra. You will manage food webs not only across biomes but also across time periods! ⠀ It’s all about building healthy food webs on different biomes. If you create a healthy ecology you get the perks and powers of that Biome. Each organism card lists what it eats and what it’s eaten by. You arrange them with plants on the bottom, predators on top. There is a trade mechanic where you trade with others based on what you need and what they need. It is a race to get 12 victory points and different organisms give different points. There are factor cards that can affect opponents and different strategies such as focusing on one biome, going for perks and bonuses, or attacking other ecologies. ⠀ —description from the publisher
