Game flow

The principle of the game is to lead a herd of dinosaurs and guide them through different climates . In addition, conflicts arise from fellow players.

The game is played over several rounds, with the course of the rounds being divided into several phases. In the first phase the order of play is determined, in the second the climate (change), in the third you can move or fight if the target field is occupied. In phase four animals die or reproduce. Phase five initiates the round change and the gene auction. The most important phase here is round five, in which skills can be acquired for the further game.
