About the game
Contains the Quetzalcoatlus & Sarcosuchus species decks from Apex Theropod Deck-Building Game: Exotic Predators as well as the expansion cards from Apex Theropod Deck-Building Game: Quetzalcoatlus & Sarcosuchus Expansion Cards. The two species were left out of the second edition of the game and the previous expansion contained cards for owners of the first edition of the game to add to their copies, converting the species decks to the number and format used in the second edition. This expansion means that owners of the second edition can play these two species without having to both own the first edition and track down the expansion cards. Also included are Hatzegopteryx and Rexenator Bosses & Minions, Bruhathkayosaurus, Oxalaia, Sinoceratops and the Fight For Dominance Environment card - all of which were previously in 'Apex Theropod Deck-Building Game: Exotic Predators'.
