Description

SAURUS: Isle of Evolution is a strategic dinosaur survival board game where players lead their species through an ever-changing prehistoric world. Each game begins with a newly built island made of modular terrain tiles, ensuring no two playthroughs feel the same. Choose your species and evolve them through a mix of exploration, adaptation, territory control, and tactical combat. Discover unique scenarios, encounter rival dinosaurs, gather resources, and outmaneuver other players as the ages pass by. Adaptation tiles allow your species to grow stronger, smarter, or more specialized, while dynamic events and unique discovery scenarios make every round (age) unpredictable. Whether you’re defending your territory, migrating across the island, or squaring off against the apex species, every decision matters. In the "Apex Edition", there are over 90 cast pieces, including stunning dinosaur miniatures with 13 dinosaurs per species, terrain figures, and even nests with eggs; SAURUS will bring the prehistoric world to life on your table. Explore. Expand. Evolve. Survive. Only the strongest species can claim the Isle of Evolution. —description from the publisher
