Dear BERGers
I hope you will be excited and see the virtue of this game (see message below) - can't
wait to play it at a BERG/SHAIR meeting in Stirling.
Do watch the video! I've been involved with some of the cards.
You need to order to guarantee you get your own copy of the game!
All good wishes, Hannah

The Ultimate Board Game About Primate Evolution
Primates is an evolutionary board game where you can explore the evolution of more than
100 different primate species!
The game is currently being crowdfunded on
Kickstarter<https://gmail.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dc5d1ea7a6f7…
<https://gmail.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dc5d1ea7a6f72b3d3c1210684&id=ba432efb1d&e=f3381e94da>

The Board Is Based Upon a Phylogenetic Tree
The board in Primates is based upon a phylogenetic tree, a diagram used in biology to
depict the hypothesized evolutionary relationships between different groups of organisms —
in this case primates!
As you progress up the tree, you can take different evolutionary paths and evolve into
different types of primates.
Along the way, try to outmaneuver your opponents and score the most points as you forage
for food and build social bonds.

* primate-plant interactions such as seed predation, seed dispersal (endozoochory),
pollination, and exudativory
* primate-insect interactions such as consumption of honeydew
* various types of primate locomotion
* primate communication including duets, calls, and gestures
* primate social traditions and culture
* paleontology and extinct primates
* various types of tool use, including relatively recent discoveries such as algae
fishing
