Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. Interesting theme and the flow of the game makes sense. There are a decent chunk of rules, but they didn't feel like too much. Balancing resources from the old dying planet to the new, healthy planet is quite clever. Having two separate resource pools per player is neat (though oddly confusing at times when looking at players across the table). Getting ships to move things back and forth makes sense and works. The progress track which shows your civilizations flow from one planet to the other is one key element to the game and works really well. There are two versions of the game... the race game and the points game. I believe race is recommended for a first play and I felt that made a LOT of sense; the points version probably would have been overwhelming. Played with 4 players and it felt right (despite BGG currently showing 2 and 3 as better options).

  2. 6 out of 10

    First play impressions. The rules are not intuitive, turns are quite unpleasant, lot of rule clarifications throughout the game. The moment of flying ships is extremely satisfying, what a shame it only happens up to 4 times in a game. Admittedly, we learned the rules along the way, and it took a while to grasp everything. I want to give this a second chance.

  3. 7 out of 10

    Ein Wettrennen gegen die Zeit vom untergehenden Planeten hin zum neuen Planeten. Vieles will transportiert werden, die Ressourcen-Produktion auf der einen Seite wird immer geringer, die auf der anderen Seite will aufgebaut werden. Steter Mangel.

"Hurry to the ship! Twelve houses from our town have already burned down!"

In Evacuation, life on our planet is being burned away thanks to increasingly intense sunlight, so everyone is trying to move all the people and factories in their territories from the "old" planet to a new one — and they have only four rounds in which to do so.

You start the game with a full functioning economy, and over the course of play, you must dismantle that economy and move it. Income on the old planet shrinks over time, and production probably won’t be much better until you establish yourself on the new planet and kick things into action. Resources can’t be mixed across the planets, so you need to take special care with your planning.

To do this, you choose actions from the player board, with the expert variant adding cards to your hand that allow you to choose additional actions and combine them. Each action has its own value, and the sum of these actions is important for an "end of the round" bonus. Additionally, players move their markers along the orbital track based on the value of their actions.

If you can raise production of three resources to level 8 and have three virtual reality machines on the new planet, you win. Otherwise, players compare scores after four rounds. Evacuation includes modules to add new play options.
