Welcome to a world of interconnected species and strategy that matters to all players. Evolution: CLIMATE is a stand-alone game for 2 - 6 players, ages 12+, in the best-selling Evolution game line. 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. Evolving a coat of Heavy Fur will 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 adapt your species, every game of Climate unfolds in a beautifully unique way. OCEANS is the latest stand-alone game based on the Evolution game line, for 2 - 4 players, ages 12+. Oceans is a strategy game where you create a vibrant web of marine life through millions of years of evolution. It depicts the boundary between the known world near the ocean’s surface, and the unknown mysteries lurking in the deep. The Known World: Enter a vast, underwater cosmos: a mysteriously interconnected world of tentacles, sharp teeth, and black ink, where your survival depends on your ability to adapt. But this is just on the surface - there's more when you're ready to dive deeper... The Unknown: Lurking deep below the surface lie mysteries so bizarre they hardly seem natural. Although both games are played for fun, their core is based on the natural world. Evolution has been used in classrooms around the world as a teaching aid, as well as featured in the world's leading scientific journal, Nature: “Evolution features sophisticated biology. Traits can be put together in a dizzying array of combinations, so each game can be very different. The theme of evolution is not just tacked on: it drives play.” See packaging for game contents.
