Bios Mesofauna Board Game

Burrow, fly, and swarm your way to evolutionary dominance.
Looking for a strategic evolution board game without dice or randomness? In Bios: Mesofauna, you control tiny creatures emerging after a cataclysmic event, ready to adapt, grow, and dominate the food chain. Will you burrow underground, take flight, swarm your rivals, or evolve defensive traits to survive?
Unlike many games, Bios: Mesofauna features no dice. Every action is a result of careful planning and clever engine-building as you guide your species through complex ecosystems and constant environmental change. Part of the great 7-game story arch of the Bios and High Frontier series.
Why should you purchase Bios: Mesofauna?
• Dice-free engine-building gameplay: Pure strategy in a world ruled by natural selection
• Evolve unique traits: Develop wings, shells, fangs, and more to adapt and survive
• Compact format, deep replayability: Small box, big decisions, endless variation
• Part of the acclaimed Bios series: A perfect entry point into Phil Eklund’s evolutionary universe
Adapt fast. Outsmart nature. Rule the post-cataclysmic world in Bios: Mesofauna.

How to play?
The game starts with the invasion of the land about 450 million years ago and is an Alternate 2nd Game in the Bios Trilogy. It follows the same sort of Achterbahn environment, same climate change, same or similar creeples, same VP, same tiles, same card colors, same cratons and drift, same basic and Achterbahn games, same catastrophes, same greenhouse, cloudiness, and oxygen. Same terrestrial settings. All of these are production and development advantages. The setting is the same, only the animals are smaller
Start with an archetype species, and evolve into up to 6 more swimming, flying, burrowing, armored, or parasite species.
Build a portrait of each species that gives you victory points according to its pheromones and population.
Use a diceless contest mechanic to see which carnivore, herbivore, or parasite is the fittest to survive in a particular pollinator, herbivore, or carnivore niche.
