Wrath of Fire Mountain

Players lead prehistoric tribes competing across a shifting 4x4 grid dominated by an active volcano. Each turn they roll dice and assign cave people to tiles: volcanoes, dinosaur-hatching grounds, huts and caves, or use feet to move across grass and jungle (water can be crossed but not stopped on). Collect dinosaurs by committing people to the hatchery; dinos grant special powers and move like people. Control of the volcano lets a player push a row or column of tiles, altering the board. When all volcano spaces are filled the mountain erupts and players score areas (forest, grass, water) and volcano presence; scored pieces return to supply. The game ends when a point threshold is reached.
