Dominant Species: Marine
90m - 150m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 14+
Card drafting games are games in which players pick cards from a limited subset, such as a common pool, to gain some advantage (immediate or longterm) or to assemble hands of cards that are used to meet objectives within the game.
Card Drafting
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
Tile Placement games feature placing a piece to score VPs, with the amount often based on adjacent pieces or pieces in the same group/cluster, and keying off non-spatial properties like color, "feature completion", cluster size etc.
Tile Placement
Variable Phase Order implies that turns may not be played the same way as before and/or after.
Variable Phase Order
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

Almost as good as the original, but possibly easier to teach/learn as there is no programming involved - all workers placed occur immediately.

Would like to try this based on playing the original DS and thinking it is a bit long (too long for regular play). I hear DS:M is a little bit shorter...

Let me start off by saying that I love Dominant Species, but always struggled to get it to the table mainly because of play length and the fact that it really plays best at the full player count. So when I heard that DS:M was for up to 4 players and offered a more streamlined experience, I was really excited, but at the same time skeptical. I wondered if it would truly "scratch the same itch" or it would feel like an incomplete version of the original. After my first play I can confirm that it definitely feels the same, but different. Most of the actions are similar to the original, but there are enough tweaks for this game to exist on its own. I love the variability in the traits, evolution cards and the action board setup, which ensures that no two games will feel alike. The action selection and execution process definitely removes a lot of the AP that the original is based on. The turns felt much smoother with less of a risk of a player wasting actions because the board state changed so much by the time their turn came around. The new approach to scoring and domination removes the massive amounts of downtime from the base game by removing the need to constantly recalculate who dominates each hex. If I have one minor complaint, it is that the rules were not 100% airtight, but we were definitely able to make due with it. Everyone at the table was keen to try this one again soon. Now the big question for me is whether or now I need to keep my copy of the original game.
