Trias

Players place herds of prehistoric animals on a single modular Pangaea made of hex tiles, then take turns shifting the land as continents split and reform. Each turn a player moves a landscape tile of a type shown on their card, must keep it attached to a continent that contains their herds, and may spend action points to drift again, migrate herds, rescue swimming herds, or reproduce. Tiles and herd limits determine crowding and losses; creating a new continent awards immediate points to the top two players there, and final scoring gives points per tile to the majority and runner-up on each remaining continent. Play ends when the meteor card is drawn.
