## Description
If you're already a fan of Paleo and feel your tribe needs new challenges (and maybe a bit more chaos), get your survivors ready! 'Paleo: The Terror Birds' arrives as a modular expansion—specifically Module K—to inject an extra dose of tension and discovery into your base game. The premise is simple yet desperate: while exploring new territories, you stumble upon some giant, very strange eggs. The catch? These eggs aren't meant for collecting; they are about to hatch! Your tribe's mission is to locate these eggs before the giant birds emerge and cause unexpected mayhem that you definitely don't want to witness firsthand.

Mechanically, the expansion maintains that intense cooperative spirit where every decision matters. It adds a layer of urgency to the exploration cycle, forcing players to balance resource gathering with the need to deal with this new biological threat. It's the kind of content that doesn't rewrite the fundamental rules but completely shifts the game's pacing, turning a routine expedition into a race against time. If you enjoy risk management and love the prehistoric theme, this module is the seasoning your Paleo sessions have been missing. Just don't forget: if the birds hatch before you solve the mystery, the fallout will be massive!

## How to Play
