About this game

Catalogue Description "TYRANNO EX" (AH 890) An easy-to learn game of strategy for 2 to 4 players, TYRANNO EX paints evolution in enjoyable, fast paced strokes far removed from dreary textbooks. Players alternate selecting animals and guiding them through the rapidly passing millennia to survival or extinction by changing the environment to better suit their particular characteristics. Those which survive environmental changes must still withstand challenges in battle by predators seeking to secure their place at the top of the food chain. The Primeval World lives again - but how well and for how long depends on you! •••••••••••• Players attempt to shepherd their chosen dinosaurs through an ever-changing environment. Each player attempts to alter the environment during every game round. Extinction looms for those who can not survive in the current environment. Even those that can survive the environment need to survive a round of combat from opposing player's dinosaurs.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
