90,000 B.C. — A great ice age is fast approaching. Another titanic struggle for global supremacy has unwittingly commenced between the varying animal species.
Dominant Species is a game that abstractly recreates a tiny portion of ancient history: the ponderous encroachment of an ice age and what that entails for the living creatures trying to adapt to the slowly-changing earth.
Dominant Species was designed by Chad Jensen and published by GMT Games in 2012. Mechanics involve worker placement, action selection, player interaction, area control, and take that. Expect chaos, anger, vengeance, regret, and surprise attacks by glaciers.
Beginners are welcome. A rules explanation will proceed play.
TRIGGER WARNING: This is a crunchy game that involves LOTS OF MATH.
