A strategic board game about biology of mating and competition. In Time to Mate, players race against each other in a bid to spread their genes around the island. Players must be strategic in building the Reproduction and Survival traits of their male and female Mates to gain the most DNA points through mating and cooperation with other players. Improve your Mate's traits to become the most attractive lover or the deadliest fighter. Deceive and betray other players, form alliances, survive catastrophic season events, and even inbreed (if you dare...). Every game is a new adventure with Time to Mate, so there is never a dull moment on this island. New players bring on new tactics, new rounds bring on new seasons and their unpredictability. —description from the designer
