Dominant Species · Board game rules
Are Dominance Cards unique?
Quick answer
No, Dominance Cards are not unique—multiple cards with the same effect exist in the deck.
Details
The rulebook states there are 26 Dominance Cards total (plus 1 Survival Card), but does not specify that each card is unique. [p.2 — Game Components] The rules describe individual card effects and how they function when selected, but make no mention of cards being one-of-a-kind. [p.18-19 — The Cards]
Since the deck is shuffled and players draw from it during the Reseed step, and the game is designed for multiple players to potentially score tiles across many turns, it's reasonable that duplicate effects exist to ensure the card pool remains functional throughout play.
