Evolution Board Game

I played the board game a few years ago and was instantly hooked. It’s an intriguing concept that is well executed. It’s always fun to come up with what your creature might look like, with the different traits it has. In terms of improvements, there are a few things that don’t feel immediately apparent. For instance, you can zoom out of your opponents turn and handle your own instead of having to wait until they’re finished. It’s a fun game that seems a bit complicated, but flows really well once you get the hang of it. There are a few bugs here and there, especially in terms of trying to create an account. Me and my friends all recently got it, and almost all of us had trouble with the account creation process, with it not notifying us that the account had been created or not, maybe sending a confirmation email would help with that? I sincerely hope we get to see some expansions to the game! Having even more trait cards in play, like those from the Climate or Flight expansions, would increase the fun even more!

So ignore the review below. I’ve now played this game for many dozens of hours. Once I went into campaign mode it all started clicking. It’s incredibly complex and nuanced, and I’m constantly learning new ways to combine strategies. I’ve now ordered the board game and can’t wait to play with the family. Original ignorant review below: I think this a game where you need to know the board game first. Or otherwise grab a tutorial because the in-game is not super helpful. I’ve been at it for an hour and still get randomly surprised by my inability to feed as a carnivore and my inability to defend as a herbivore. It’s frustrating as there seems to be zero logic to it. Every time I think I’ve figured out the “why,” the next time I apply that logic something different happens. I *should* like this game as I like other similar games. Just can’t get to the logic.

I initially bought the board game because I spend a lot of time learning about evolution and the natural order of life on earth, and thought the game would somehow implement that into its gameplay in a fun, thoughtful way. The game delivered more than I would have realized and it made me excited to find out I could take my new favorite board game on the go. I am more than willing to spend an extra ten bucks on the app for the online and ai play aspect, however the game is riddled with bugs. I’m sure there are plans to fix this in the future, but for now it remains an annoyance. In conclusion, the game is definately worth your money, it’s better than hearthstone, respectfully, and the multiple different ai provides interesting, unique experiences each time you play. Buy it so I have more than 11 people to play with at a time👍

This is a great game, but it could use some improvements. 1. Infinitive mode: On the board game, some people like to keep playing, so this mode would let you do that and evolve creatures much more 2. Hibernation: This could be a card that makes the species it’s placed on unattackable for the next turn, but it would only work once when it is placed. 3. Random button: If this button was pressed, it would give you random AI opponents 4. Planet Update: I know this would take a LOT of work, but you could make an ocean mode where all the traits are from the sea, an arctic mode where all the traits are to survive in the cold, a forest mode where you have more carnivorous traits and camouflage, and more These are some ways that the game could be improved. I’m only having one problem with the game, though. My account logged out and now it says that it never existed, but the information and progress is still there. Maybe this is linked to the loss of the account, but my sketches keep appearing and disappearing. This really annoys me because I have lost many sketches. If this glitch is fixed, I will return and give this app 5 stars. In the meantime, please fix it. Thank you.

Evolution is a fun and strategic game that takes only a half-hour to play. Do you try to be aggressive and create predators to attack other creatures, denying points to your opponents? Or perhaps you prefer a more peaceful approach and simply outcompete other creatures for a wider point gap? There are but a handful of ways to play Evolution, making every game change how you play each and every time. The act of playing the game is at times more rewarding than actually winning. The video game fails to meet expectations in this regard, and then some. The AI unfailingly renders each game to be one-sided, heavily favoring certain cards that make their hands untouchable; based on the actual board game rules, and by counting cards, the AI plays an illegal number of cards, often giving itself the unfair advantage. Limiting the game to just six rounds misrepresents the gameplay. Crushing 30 minutes into 5 minute interludes of the AI fighting itself, sidelining the human player on the by and by, undervalues the already minimalist and brilliant style of the game. Although the video game version is a free download, hiding the majority of the game features behind a paywall renders it into a glorified demo that bastardizes the original board game that, at least for a few dollars more, gives you the full version without nonsensical AI and weighted decks that rush you through without even the gratification of playing at all.
