Players embody one of six animal groups competing for survival during an encroaching Ice Age by controlling terrain, deploying action pawns, and adapting to a changing Earth. With a 16-page full-color rulebook and dynamic hex tile gameplay, it offers deep tactical challenges and immersive prehistoric competition. ## Description 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 for 2 to 6 players that abstrately 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. Each player will assume the role of one of six major animal groups—Mammal, Reptile, Bird, Amphibian, Arachnid or Insect. Each begins the game in a state of natural balance with regards to one another. But that won't last: It is indeed "survival of the fittest." Through wily Action Pawn placement, players will strive to become Dominant on as many different Terrain tiles as possible in order to draw beneficial Dominance Cards. Players will also want to propagate their individual Species in order to earn Victory Points for his particular Animal. Players will be aided in these endors via Growth, Migration and Dominactions, among others. All of this eventually leads to the end game - the final ascent of the Ice Age - where the player with the most Victory Points will have his Animal crowned the Dominant Species. But somebody better become dominant quickly, because it's getting mighty cold... Game Play: Throughout a game of Dominant Species large hexagonal tiles are placed on the board to create an ever-expanding interpretation of Earth as it might have appeared a thousand centuries ago. These tiles represent the various terrain such as desert, mountain, forest and sea. The smaller Tundra tiles will be placed atop these larger tiles – converting them into Tundra in the process – Age encroaches. The cylindrical Action Pawns (or "AP") drive the game. Each AP will allow a player to perform the various actions that can be taken—actions such as growth, environmental ## Features - Fourth Printing - Number of players: 2 to 6 - Manufacturer: GMT Games - a 16-page full-color rulebook, one 22" x 34" mounted game board, six animal displays, 27 cards, 35 large and 14 small hexagonal tiles used to create "Earth", 270 wooden cubes in six colors representing the Species belonging to the six Animal groups, 60 wooden cylinders used for the Animals' Action Pawns, 60 wooden cones the Animals' Dom. ination markers, 108 round markers representing the Earth's resources, called "Elements", 12 square markers used to show each Animal's "Initiative" (turn - order), one cloth bag ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0045WCG8I | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Brand Name | GMT Games | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts, No Warning Applicable | | Edition | 3rd edition | | Genre | fantasy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00817054010134 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 22.4 x 30.5 x 7.9 cm | | Item Part Number | GMT101113 | | Item Weight | 2.23 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | GMT Games | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 72 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 331460 | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | GMT 1011 | | Number of Players | For 2 to 6 people | | Size | ワンサイズ | | Theme | dinosaur | | UPC | 817054010134 817054010554 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GMT Games - **Genre:** fantasy - **Material:** Wood - **Number of Players:** For 2 to 6 people - **Theme:** dinosaur ## Images ![Dominant Species - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61la5vkEKjL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - GMT Games Dominant Species - AEG & Flatout Games | Cascadia - Award-Winning Board Game Set in the Pacific Northwest | Easy to Learn | Quick to Play | Ages 10+ - Power Grid Recharged --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/733359736-dominant-species](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/733359736-dominant-species) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
