Description
Game Description:
Apex is a deck-building game, played solo or with up to 5 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.

Dinos vs. Bosses Chart for Solo Play
If your like me, you need to keep data and statistics on solo games to keep interested. This is a simple checklist to keep track of which dinosaurs you have used to defeat which bosses. My new goal is to check off every box. This is for solo play. The list includes the Suchomimus expansion. This can be omitted and other expansions could be added easily.

Rules Abridged
I typed out all the rules of 2E with 1E variants as well for variety. I also suggest recycling an Evolve Card if it is already in the Evolve Pool, that way you always have a choice of 4 cards out of the 10.
Nearly everything is word-for-word. What I did change was to make it easier to read or understand. The Battle Royale is unchanged.
