Northstar Game Studio Evolution Board Game | Create Species in This Strategy Game for Adults, Teens and Families | 2-6 Players, Age 12+

My wife and I bought this to bring to a family get together, and it was a big hit. We have played about 5 times now, and each time it feels unique and engaging. I would recommend to a new buyer reading the rules yourself beforehand, and instead of just verbally explaining the rules, I would hand out the quick reference cards the game comes with and then explain each of the four parts of a round as you play it with them the first round. I found with this game, learning it definitely came faster as you played. Additionally, I was thoroughly impressed with the thickness of the cardboard tokens, species boards, and watering hole. They are extremely durable, and feel like a high quality product. Even my 8 year old nephew was able to easily pick up and use the pieces (although the nuances of the strategy were a little much, but overall he played just fine with the adults and slight parent coaching).The cards as well were pretty firm, and the instructions are glossy and the pages have some weight.

I bought this for my 9th grade biology class to help solidify some concepts about evolution. The game is fun and entertaining and the kids really like it. I also bought three other games, and this one was one of the easiest to learn and kept kids attention the longest. It is a great little game. I just can't believe the price - holy crap - If it wasn't so expensive, Id've bought 3 of them so my whole class could play, but as it is, I have to settle for 1 on my teacher's salary. Oh well

The quality of the pieces is excellent! Game play takes about 40 minutes. Has a little bit of a learning curve, but once everyone understands all of the card types, play speed and enjoyment improve. We have played with ages 7+.

Overall I love this game. I had a board game night coming up so I pick up evolution. It was super easy to teach and after about 15-20 min we were off and running. I played several games with 5-6 players and it was a great time. Now here comes the but ... the entire time I felt like it needed something like a bit of polish. I liked the game play and making your own species is super cool and hit that nerdy itch. I just couldnt shake the felling like was missing something. So I did some digging and found it is offered on SOME mobile devices and steam. On mobile if available its free and on steam its like $15. So I hedged my bets and bought the steam version because my phone was not compatible. And oh boy I was not disappointed the steam version allows you to do a campaign that varied the theme and gives you a varied difficulty AI to play against. Then my Gf got on her phone and downloaded the free version..... and was able to play with and against me on my steam version. This irritated me a bit at this point I had bought the board game and steam version to then see it could be free. All you would need is internet and your phone and 4 friends(4 is the limit online) could play for free. That being said I am not regretting my purchases and have looked into the expansions (which arent available on the digital version). I can easily recommend this game. I would say if youre on the fence or dont plan on playing with more than 4 people check if its available on you phone. Give it a spin and see what you think. Then see if you want the physical version. I am not bashing this game its great and I will continue to play both versions. In Summary - The digital version On the phone is free and on steam is $15. These are cross compatible and can play with each other . The limit is 4 players. There are new cards to purchase through the digital version Campaign and AI to play again The Physical Board 2-6 players two expansions

One of the most fun games I've played in a while! It's very dynamic and every game really is different. It can be a bit difficult and requires a good handle on strategy though. They art is also really beautiful and the pieces are all well made out of quality materials it seems like.

This is my new favorite game. It takes a bit to learn all the rules but once you've gotten them down it's challenging but not hard. I really enjoy the art style

Completely love this game! Would recommend for ages 10+. This one is better than the Beginner version because it does allow for more features and makes for a more enjoyable experience. It's a great game to play with anyone and I would highly recommend as you can utilize different strategies every time you play.

I played with my dad and it was really enjoyable, easy to learn, and really good with more people. I plan to use this for more game nights.

Cartas un poco delgadas pero excelente

Great board game. Loads of fun to play with friends & family. Has surprising depth to such a simple concept & the art work is beautiful.

Tough to learn but sooo fun to play! It helped to download the free app and learn the rules from there but once we did, even my 8yo loves this game. Very well thought out game with lots of strategy. Highly recommended!

Es un excelente juego para pasar el rato, cada juego es único e inesperado totalmente recomendable. de preferencia jugar con 4 personas de 5 puede ser un caótica al principio pero ya cuando todos saben jugar es algo excelente.

Ce jeu pour adulte et jeune de 10 ans et plus, malheureusement en anglais, mais bien illustré est vraiment parfait comme jeu de société différent, mais il y a la version Climate….acheter plutôt celle là, le niveau de difficulté a été amélioré, mes jeunes de 30 ans ont beaucoup de plaisirs!
