With massive warming altering the globe, another titanic struggle for supremacy has unwittingly commenced between the varying animal species.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Dominant Species: Marine is a game that abstractly recreates a small portion of ancient history: the ending of an onerous ice age and what that entails for the living creatures trying to adapt to the slowly-changing earth.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Each player will assume the role of one of four major aquatic-based animal classes—dinosaur, fish, cephalopod or crustacean. Each begins the game more or less in a state of natural balance in relation to one another. But that won’t last: It is indeed “survival of the fittest.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Through wily action pawn placement, you will attempt to thrive in as many different habitats as possible in order to claim powerful card effects. You will also want to propagate your individual species in order to earn victory points for your animal. You will be aided in these endeavors via speciation, migration and adaptation actions, among others.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e All of this eventually leads to the end game – the final ascent of a vast tropical ocean and its shorelines – where the player having accumulated the most victory points will have their animal crowned the Dominant Species.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e But somebody better become dominant quickly, because there’s a large asteroid heading this way….\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLAYER COUNT: 2-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRECOMMENDED AGES: 14+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLAY TIME: 90-150 mins\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39419371880600,"sku":"GMT2009","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/9833\/0520\/products\/DominantSpeciesMarine01.jpg?v=1615835553","url":"https:\/\/tabletopmerchant.live\/products\/dominant-species-marine","provider":"Tabletop Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
