Dominant Species

An ice age is creeping south, and six classes of animal are about to find out who adapts and who disappears. Chad Jensen's Dominant Species is a heavyweight area-control and action-selection epic played across a huge board with 450+ wooden pieces, where every action pawn you place denies an opponent the one they wanted. It is the sort of evening-long strategy game a group talks about for weeks afterwards, and one of GMT Games' most respected non-wargame designs.
