Apex is a deck-building game, played solo or with up to 3 friends (publisher recommends 2-4 players). You play as a prehistoric predator competing for territory and resources against other predators. Each playable species has a unique deck to master. Each deck has different strengths, weaknesses, and strategies—creating a varied and constantly evolving experience.
Your species must overcome a very brutal environment including harsh climate changes, disease, attacks from predators, grievous wounds, infections, and deadly prey. The game incorporates many dinosaurs that behave in their own distinct way. The goal of the game is to endure the environment, build up the population and evolve your species, and become the apex predator.

Delightfully fun but more as an appeasement for my inner child. The game is good but it's a bit much for what it is. Still, I will never not enjoy mashing dinos together.

This is an excellent SOLO game! Love how the theme bleeds through. So much variety. Great card quality - no need to sleeve. Great implementation of deck building mechanics. Highly recommended for solo. Don't expect to play it multi-player, but it looks like it may also be fun.

Dinosaurs, deck building and solo... This Might be the best deck builder I have played. Correction after several plays... This is the best deckbuilding game I have tried! Very hard, huge replay factor, good playing time and quite thematic. This is a winner!!! (in solo mode)
