The diversity of living organisms inhabiting our planet is astonishing. According to the theory of evolution, random mutations occur all the time, granting new traits to animals and plants. These traits are then tested through natural selection. Animals with beneficial traits propagate more successfully than others, expand their habitat areas, and effectively protect themselves against predators and unfavorable conditions. Such species dominate the ecosystem, while poorly adapted animals become extinct.

Evolution: New World is a popular science game, in which you do the work of nature, creating animals and giving them traits essential to survive and thrive in an ever-changing environment.

Over the course of six epochs, your successful animals evolve and produce food, while poorly adapted species become extinct or fall prey to predators. The game includes traits based on the anatomy and behavior of real animals inhabiting our planet, accompanied by scientific descriptions and examples of how these traits are used. The game’s cards have colorful illustrations in the spirit of historical zoology artwork.

Evolution: New World is an updated and extended version of the 2010 classic board game Evolution: The Origin of Species created by Dmitry Knorre, PH.D. in Biology, and published by RIGHTGAMES RBG.
