About the Game

Simulate the evolution of plants and animals over roughly 500 million years during the Phanerozoic period. Each player has a unique goal to score points, so they will try to influence the ecosystem in different ways.

During the action phase, players will draft cards and play mutations, evolve species or use events to their advantage. Each round ends with a nature phase, where the ecosystem finds its balance as plants grow and animals feed.

Will you cause the extinction of the dinosaurs or will you rejoice when inventive animals thrive?
