Evolution: Climate

About this board game

Evolution: Climate is a standalone strategy game for 2–6 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Adapt your species within a dynamic ecosystem where food is scarce, Carnivores threaten vulnerable creatures, and the climate can shift from scorching heat to icy cold.

Each round, players develop their species with traits that help them find food, resist predators, or survive harsh conditions. A Long Neck helps a species reach food that others cannot, while Hard Shell and Horns can provide protection from Carnivores.

Climate adds a new dimension to the Evolution system. The climate moves along a dedicated Climate Track according to the food cards played each round, creating changing environmental pressures. Heavy Fur and Migratory can help protect species from the cold, while Nocturnal and Burrowing offer protection from the desert sun.

• Draw 4 cards plus 1 per species each round.
• Give each species up to 4 traits.
• Use additional traits to respond to heat and cold.
• Adapt to starvation, Carnivores, and climate effects.

With more than 200,000 ways to evolve your species, every game can develop into a different adventure. Evolution: Climate expands the original two-dimensional challenge of starvation and predators into a three-dimensional struggle that also demands careful attention to climate, adding vivid thematic pressure to an already dynamic strategic game.
