Rival animal classes adapt and compete for dominance as a relentless Ice Age reshapes the world.

Gameplay

Players queue action pawns in worker placement, then resolve them to adapt elements, speciate, migrate, and glaciate a modular hex map. Area majorities and dominance checks grant points and powerful card effects, culminating in a sweeping final scoring.
