Bios: Megafauna
In Bios: Megafauna, a reworking of Phil Eklund's own American Megafauna, players start as proto-dinosaurs or proto-mammals, starting in the post-holocaust world of the Permian catastrophe. Animals are tracked by dentition, size, aggressiveness, swiftness, browsing, grazing, burrowing, swimming, behavior, and insect-eating. Plants and animals that have gone extinct are collected in an area on the map called the tarpits. These tiles are distributed among the most populous players as victory points during four scoring rounds.

Players cope with intense competition and environmental changes by starting new species and mutating them. Create bizarre chimeras, from vegetarian velociraptors to flying dolphins. Establish subterranean civilizations, tame fire, or just be super-sexy.

Es un juego difícil de definir. Se trata de una simulación a través de cuatro eras prehistóricas de la adaptación de las especies a las condiciones y hábitats cambiantes. Cada jugador comienza con una especie de protodinosaurios o protomamífero y debe conseguir sobrevivir en el tablero. Cabe la posibilidad (y conviene) que la especie inicial derive en otras especies. Cada jugador puede tener hasta cuatro. Las series van evolucionando incorporando genomas a su código genético que incrementan sus posibilidades de subsistencia otorgándoles ciertas características.
