  1. 8.5 out of 10

    KS. Theme and mechanics fit perfectly together. Some traits are OP, but even "bad" ones are useful. Amazing art.

  2. 6 out of 10

    Played once so far, with six. I had read about this game that it was started as an educational game and then, over several iterations, turned into more of a game. I feel like a few more iterations could be used. It feels like they are trying to keep things simple - e.g., making everything Carnivore vs. Non - but that they haven't yet achieved a level of simplicity that makes it appealing for repeat play by a group. Instead, it leaves them with somewhat clunky mechanisms that are too broad to balance each other out nicely. While being played, it feels quite a bit like one of those euros where you're just fiddling around with things on your own personal player board and nothing else that anyone does has much bearing on you. Maybe with fewer players you would be able to target your opponent to mess them over, but with six players, the climate and feeding pool are both pretty static. I suspect, with fewer players, it would still feel like the interaction of screwing over other players' species via the climate and available food would still be so passive aggressive that it wouldn't really feel like a game that you are playing with other individuals, just a giant mechanical fist that punches you every once in a while based on the vote of some secret consortium. It didn't suck. I might recommend it as a two player game, though I'd probably recommend a game like Magic or Gloom instead. With more than that, maybe Mashup or Gloom.

    Plays in a perfect time, is great at 4 with awesome card play. is ok at 6 in a more casual play style. Always up for a game of this at any game night.

Evolution: Climate is a standalone game that introduces climate into the Evolution game system.

In Evolution: Climate, players adapt their species in a dynamic ecosystem where food is scarce, predators lurk, and the climate can swing between scorching hot and icy cold. Traits like a Hard Shell and Horns can protect your species from Carnivores while a Long Neck will help them get food that others cannot reach. Heavy Fur and Migratory can protect your species from the cold while being Nocturnal or Burrowing will provide protection from the cruel desert sun. With over 200,000 ways to evolve your species, every game evolves into a different adventure.

The Climate standalone game dramatically changes game play with several simple additions to the Evolution base set:

Players draw 4 cards +1 per species per round (instead of 3 cards + 1 per species).
Each species may have up to 4 traits (instead of 3).
The climate moves along a Climate Track based upon the food cards played each round.
There are additional trait cards that provide protection from the heat and cold.

Evolution: Climate changes Evolution from a two-dimensional game (dealing with the threat of Starvation and Carnivores) into a three-dimensional game (dealing with the threat of Starvation, Carnivores, and Climate effects) while increasing the vividness of the theme. It adds additional layers into what was already a dynamically strategic game.
