Apex is a deck-building game, played solo or with up to 3* friends. 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.

Note to fans:

The dinosaurs and events in Apex are not 100% based on fact. Apex is a  mix of old and new dinosaur culture and some things were just changed  to enjoy the game more. Please forgive us for any inaccuracies you find  in Apex and it is not designed to educate. 

*Previous versions listed APEX as a 6 player game, however as we revamp the rule book we are highlighting that the multiplayer game works best as 2-4 players. As we progress, we will see about maintaining a solid option of up to 6.
