EVOLUTION HISTORY
The original Evolution came was brought to life with the help of a Kickstarter campaign. The campaign was live in 2014, with 2470 backers helping the team at North Star Games to raise $124,316. An expansion for the base game, called Flight, was released in 2015. This game introduced avian species to the game, allowing you to fly to different locations and swoop down on your prey. Two standalone games in the series were released in 2016. Climate does exactly what it says on the box: introduces climate to the game's ecosystem. This means you'll be dealing with heat waves and cold winters. The Beginning takes you back to the dinosaurs and it the most casual and quickest adaptation of the original game. There are now plans for a video game adaption, which will be released soon.

HOW TO PLAY
Evolution is a hand-management game, where cards are played for several actions in order to grow and evolve your species. The aim of the game is to have your species eat more food than the other players. To survive, your species will need to adapt. There are traits which can be found to help protect your species from predators and to help them reach for food. In total, there are 12,000 ways to evolve your species.
On each turn you will deal three cards, plus one for each species that a player has. You then select your food by playing one card down in the watering hole food for its food value. You can then play a card on a species for its trait ability, discard to gain a new species or discard to increase body size or population of a species by one. The watering hole cards are then revealed, and you add or subtract the food tokens shown on them. Players will then take turns to eat food or species if you're a carnivore. Reduce population of any species to match the food eaten by it. Then save all eaten food in bag for later scoring.
The game comes to an end one round after the deck of cards runs out. One point is given for each of the food collected in the player's bag, each surviving species and each trait card on a surviving species. The player with the most points is the winner.
