Phases

1. Initiative:  Determine the order in which players will complete the rest of the turn.
2. Climate:  Determine the current climate for the rest of the turn.
3. Movement and Combat:  The Dinos move and fight.
4. Births:   Place as many new Dinos as you have Eggs in unoccupied adjacent hexes.
5. Survival and Mutation:  Some Dinos die, and survivors receive mutation points.
6. Meteor and Evolution:  Move the meteor one space closer to impact.  If the meteor has not yet hit the planet, players bid for genes.

Combat

• x = difference in # horns (attacker - defender)
• attacker rolls d6
  

Genes

• Tail (6):  The length of the tail determines in what order players take there turn in each phase.
• Foot (12):  Each foot determines the number of movement points a player my spend on their Dinos.  One movement point per foot.
• Horn (8):  Horns determind how well a Dino can attack or defend against other Dinos.
• Egg (8):  Each turn the species receives as many baby Dinos as they have eggs.
• Fur (8):  Fur protects Dinos from cold weather.  For each fur gene, one Dino of the species can survive in a cold zone (but not a very cold zone).
• Parasol (8):  The parasol protect Dinos from heat.  For each parasol, one Dino of the species can survive in a hot zone (but not  very hot zone).
• Mutant (6):  Each mutant gene a species possesses reduces the cost of new genes by one mutation point.
• Card (6):  This gene give the player a new event card.  This new card is drawn (and my be played) immediately (except during the turn 1 or 2, during which no cards can be played).
