  1. 8 out of 10

    Some of the very best art in any game I've seen. Is it a good thing that that is the first thing I think of? Maybe not, but hot damn it looks good. To be fair, this game does extremely well the exact thing I look for in board games, which is representing thematic elements within a mechanical system. Heavy fur that protects you from cold weather but dooms you in the heat? Yes please. Pack hunting that lets you add your population to your body size to attack bigger species? I love it. Fat tissue that lets your species overeat and dig into the supply when food runs out? Oh baby. Card powers like that added to the stunningly colorful table presence might inflate my rating a point or two from where it ought to be, but hey, its my rating. I do have a couple small complaints with the rules as written that had easy fixes: While I understand what I am supposed to be looking for on my opponents' turns (body size, primarily) I often choose to just have everyone play simultaneously as recommended for the 6 player game. The climate tracker doesn't move quite enough in the two player game, so we've house-ruled that it can move up to two spaces per round if the symbols are that much in one direction.

  2. 7.5 out of 10

    I don't think I'd play Evolution without Climate anymore. Makes the game much better and adds a whole lot of variation.

  3. 6.5 out of 10

    I had previously played Evolution and backed the Climate edition. The new Climate rules make the game punishing I think in a very good way. The food pool is now more challenging to get what you need. New traits help you deal with the ever changing cold or heat, so you have to be willing to let species go and start in a new direction. As always, carnivores feel harsh and make the game less than familiy friendly. But for gamers who like to push each other around, this one is quite good.

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.
