The woolly mammoth is back! Guide your mammoths across Pleistocene Park, trampling the invasive trees and making room for wildflowers and grasslands.

What Is Mammoth?

Mammoth is a tile-laying game from Soaring Rhino Games for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up, and takes about 30–45 minutes to play. It’s currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, with a pledge level of $40 for a copy of the game. Based on the theme and complexity of the game, I think 8 and up is about right.
