Dominant Species
GMT depart from their usual wargames to produce this hefty Euro-style game of competition in evolution. The game has players pitting their order of animal against the others (mammal vs reptile vs insect vs …) in a territory that is slowly being covered by glaciers.
As if this wasn’t enough, players compete for particular actions each turn. Some of them allow you to expand, some give you dominance in an area (which is very important, given the title of the game) while others you need just to survive!
I was impressed on my first encounter—read my full reaction in my report from the 2011 Gathering of Friends (PDF document, 2.5 Mb).
For 2-6 players, aged 12+, playing time 180 minutes: £55.00
