BIOS: MEGAFAUNA

Bios:Megafaunastarts where the predecessor gameBios:Genesisleft off, with the invasion of the land on the daybreak of the Phanerozoic eon. Starting as either a plant, mollusk, insect, or vertebral skeletal type, your flapping, paddling, and squawking carnivores and herbivores make a beachhead on one of the drifting continental plates in the Cambrian, Their struggle for terrestrial dominance may eventually include language-based consciousness. Although this achievement elevated a certain mammal species to notoriety, in your game things may occur differently.

This second edition ofBios:Megafaunais an evolutionary descendant ofAmerican Megafaunabut as a part of theBiosseries of games it is linked to the gameBios:Genesis. It plays well independently but if you have both games you can let the end state of a game ofBios:Genesisaffect the starting state of a game ofBios:Megafauna. A successor game, calledBios:Origins(which would be a descendant ofOrigin), is planned to cover the events of the Quaternary period including the rise of ideas and technology.
