Here's a Jumanji-esque story. In a small remote American town, a group of young friends stumble upon an old board game, "Pangea", in the attic of one of them. Curious, they will embark on a game... and unwittingly unleash a prehistoric hell on the city ! Indeed, dinosaurs, saber-toothed felines, giant insects, terrifying creatures and other dangerous individuals will appear as if by magic as the children's pieces advance to prevent them from finishing ! They can still count on the support of another person, also out of the game, a particular survivor calling herself "The Panther", this one will do everything to protect them and take them to their destination. This is a game... it is certainly not made for everyone, but it must absolutely be finished, at the risk of mortal consequences !
