Apex Theropod Deck Building Game: Collected Edition (Kickstarter)
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.

SOLO REVIEW: Beautiful. I'm really happy I didn't miss the Kickstarter. I love the buildup to the finale when battling the boss, and the sheer amount of variety that comes in this box. This one is a keeper.

Rating based on solo play so far. Long-time "grail game" for me, which I finally own thanks to the CE Kickstarter. One of the few games I'm interested in specifically for solo on its own merits, as opposed to for 2020/covid19 reasons.

This game is good, but when I bought it myself, when I opened the box, the starter deck, starter events and status cards didn't exist,So I sent an email to the company and messaged Facebook, but no response My impression had completely disappeared.
