Players embody one of four aquatic animal classes—dinosaur, fish, cephalopod, or crustacean—competing through action pawn placement, speciation, migration, and adaptation to dominate ocean habitats and earn victory points. With dynamic turns and random trait cards, it offers high replayability and a cutthroat survival-of-the-fittest experience set in a prehistoric marine ecosystem. ## Description Sixty-Something Millions of Years Ago — A great ice age has ended. With massive warming altering the globe, another titanic struggle for supremacy has unwittingly commenced between the varying animal species. Dominant Species: Marine is a game that abstractly recreates a small portion of ancient history: the ending of an onerous ice age and what that entails for the living creatures trying to adapt to the slowly-changing earth. Each player will assume the role of one of four major aquatic-based animal classes—dinosaur, fish, cephalopod or crustacean. Each begins the game more or less in a state of natural balance in relation to one another. But that won’t last: It is indeed survival of the fittest. Through wily action pawn placement, you will attempt to thrive in as many different habitats as possible in order to claim powerful card effects. You will also want to propagate your individual species in order to earn victory points for your animal. You will be aided in these endeavors via speciation, migration and adaptation actions, among others. All of this eventually leads to the end game – the final ascent of a vast tropical ocean and its shorelines – where the player having accumulated the most victory points will have their animal crowned the Dominant Species. But somebody better become dominant quickly, because there’s a large asteroid heading this way . ## Features - Each player will assume the role of one of four major aquatic - based animal classes - dinosaur, fish, cephalopod or crustacean; each begins the game more or less in a state of natural balance in relation to one another; but that won t last: it is indeed ''survival of the fittest.'' - Through wily action pawn placement, you will attempt to thrive in as many different habitats as possible in order to claim powerful card effects; you will also want to propagate your individual species in order to earn victory points for your animal; you will be aided in these endeavors via speciation, migration and adaptation actions, among others - All of this eventually leads to the end game - the final ascent of a vast tropical ocean and its shorelines - where the player having accumulated the most victory points will have their animal crowned the Dominant Species - But somebody better become dominant quickly, because there s a large asteroid heading this way - 2 - 4 PlayersAges 14+1 - 3 Hours Playing Time ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08QGX6N5Y | | Age Range Description | Adult, Teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #350,426 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #8,877 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | GMT Games | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (32) | | Edition | 2nd Printing | | Educational Objective | Learning about ecological dynamics and strategic planning | | Estimated Playing Time | 120 minutes | | Genre | Wargame | | Included Components | 1x Wargame | | Item Dimensions | 11.61 x 11.61 x 3.35 inches | | Item Weight | 0.59 kg | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | GMT Games | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1200 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 180 | | Manufacturer Part Number | GMT2009 | | Material Type | Paper | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 14 | | Model Number | GMT2009 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Set Name | GMT2009 | | Size | Medium | | Subject Character | dinosaur, fish, cephalopod, crustacean | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Military | | UPC | 817054012008 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![GMT Games Dominant Species: Marine,Blue,GMT2009 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GYh7R4Y7L.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - GMT Games Dominant Species: Marine,Blue,GMT2009 - Stonemaier Games: Wingspan (Base Game) by Elizabeth Hargrave | A Relaxing, Award-Winning Strategy Board Game About Birds for Adults and Family | 1-5 Players, 70 Mins, Ages 14+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/325623711-gmt-games-dominant-species-marine-blue-gmt2009](https://www.desertcart.us/products/325623711-gmt-games-dominant-species-marine-blue-gmt2009) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
