Description
American Megafauna is a game that takes you back in time to the dawn of the Mesozoic Era, where dinosaurs and mammals clash in a battle for survival. With one to four players, you'll embark on a journey of ecology, evolution, and DNA, starting as a basic archetype and evolving into new species by bidding on genotype and DNA cards. The game's complexity and depth will keep you engaged for 90 to 360 minutes, as you navigate the challenges of a changing environment and adapt to the rise and fall of different species. As you play, you'll experience the thrill of creating strange and fascinating creatures, from saber-toothed camels to cud-chewing crocodiles with antlers. With its unique blend of auction, simulation, and variable player powers, American Megafauna offers a unique gaming experience that will keep you coming back for more. Designed by Phil Eklund and first published in 1997, this game is a classic that will appeal to fans of animals, environmentalism, and prehistoric adventures.
