Facing decides
Positioning, facing and timing matter more than the dice. Come at the herd from its blind side or expect it to see you coming.
You turn on the rival pack before they reach the carcass. Drive them off and the meat is yours to take. Take too many wounds doing it and something hungrier will finish what they started.
You go for the herd. The prey catch sight of you, and the big ones turn to face you instead of running. Bring one down and the meat is yours, until your rival walks up to take it.
A cataclysmic dinosaur skirmish game
A star of fire split the heavens and shattered the earth. Smoke blotted out the sun. Forests withered, seas boiled, and the great herds thinned to shadows.
Now every day is hunger.
Where the plains once shook beneath countless prey, only scattered carcasses remain. Predators that once ruled alone now meet over the same dying quarry, fang to fang and claw to claw.
There is no balance left, and no order. There is only the last war of scale and bone.
There is not enough meat for both of you.
A herd stands in the middle of the table. Your pack waits in one corner and your rival's waits in another. You command a single species, only a few animals, and every one of them can kill.
You do not win by wiping out your rival. You win by eating more than they do. Bring down prey, mark the carcass, and feed before something bigger arrives to take it.

Positioning, facing and timing matter more than the dice. Come at the herd from its blind side or expect it to see you coming.

Herbivores watch their front. They bolt when they catch sight of you, and they will turn and hurt you if you come at them badly.

Roll one ten-sided die against a stat to fight, guard or hold your nerve. The margin decides how bad it gets. A wounded animal can lose its nerve and run.

You made the kill. Your rival can still walk up and eat it.
Every predator in CARNIVORE hunts differently. Some arrive alone and own the ground they stand on. Some arrive eight strong and tear the herd apart from the edges. Pick the one you would be.
Resin miniatures, supplied unpainted. Painted examples shown. On pre-order, shipping by December 1, 2026.
Prey is not scenery.
Every hunt needs a herd. The herbivores follow their own instincts. They watch, they bolt, and some of them stand and fight. Each species you add gives the predators a different problem to solve.

The herd will not wait.
Oval bases from the box contents, at the same scale as each other. The bigger the animal, the more ground it controls.



Scaled for the tabletop. Sculpted for the shelf.
High-detail resin, supplied unpainted.
Everything else you need to feed.
Every loss is permanent.
Eleven scenarios ship in the Core Rulebook. Play them as standalone hunts, or carry your pack through EXTINCTION, the campaign where every animal you lose is gone for good. The ones still standing at the end are the ones you earned.

The Quickplay Guide covers the rules every dinosaur shares, the COLLAPSE scenario and Genus Slates for three predators and one prey species. Two players, about forty minutes, a 2 by 2 foot table. Use toys if you don't have the minis yet. The rules do not care.

Two predators, one herd and the Core Rulebook make a complete game for two players. Printing your own? The MEGAPREDATOR and MESOPREDATOR digital bundles are $72 each.

All 41 dinosaurs in the Core Rulebook, the rulebook itself, the Dense Terrain Set, ten Meat Tokens and the Jawbone Gauge.

"I was reading through the rules and I like how you approach them. The rules seem solid, and the setting is fantastic: dinosaurs locked in a violent struggle for the remaining resources. I can absolutely see myself playing this game."
Kawe, Westfalia Miniatures
"The minis are great. The commitment to realistic models is clear from the overall proportions down to the skin, scale, and feather textures. Overall, some of my favorite dinosaur models I've painted to date."
Kelsey, Khromatic Miniatures
