The ever-changing climate was their first adversary, forcing them to remain constantly on the move. At the end of the game, you and your Dinos will not be the winners unless you've evolved more quickly and successfully than everyone else. Each turn is divided into 6 phases, in which Dinos move, fight, reproduce and evolve to ensure that their species has the characteristics to survive the various perils of prehistoric life.
Players earn and spend mutation points to adapt their species for survival.
