Also, should the "winner" be the first line to evolve into birds?
BTW, there should be settlers (nests) and terraformers (Jurassic forests were kept in check by the giant sauropods looking for softer undergrowth.)
BTW, if you're going for the post-Permian/Triassic extinction, here's a Jurassic Earth.

My own thought was to divide it into Huge eras, roughly equivalent to the Mesozoic - Cenozoic earth eras, the last game era being equivalent to the rise of man -
First Era - Triassic to Jurassic
Second Era - Jurassic to Cretaceous
Third Era - Cenozoic Era
Fourth Era - Primates to Stone Age Man (including any awkward monolith appearances)
The final era might include a 'race' to discover fire, language, art, social structure, animal domestication and agriculture - You have won when you discover Civilization!
MaisseArsouye made a series of prehistoric earth maps that might be a useful starting point. I'd be in favor of something with more land, less sea...
