Description
Darwin's Choice is a competitive game where you get to play the role of evolution, creating and guiding your own animal species to survival and success in a dynamic and ever-changing world. With over 230 animal cards to work with, you'll need to adapt and evolve your species to thrive in different biomes, each with its own set of challenges and opportunities. The goal is to earn Darwin points by achieving the highest adaptation and competitiveness in each zone, but be warned: the world is constantly shifting, and only those who can keep up will make it to the end. As you navigate through 3-4 eras, you'll need to think strategically about how to use your cards, anticipating the moves of your opponents and staying flexible in the face of unexpected events and biome changes. The game requires a delicate balance of hand management, area majority, and take-that mechanics, making each playthrough unique and challenging. With the ability to play with 2 to 6 players, Darwin's Choice is perfect for game nights with friends or family, and its normal complexity level makes it accessible to anyone familiar with board games. The game's modular board and event cards add an extra layer of replayability, ensuring that no two games are ever the same. The game's artwork, hand-illustrated by French illustrator Rozenn Grosjean, gives Darwin's Choice a distinctive style that immerses you in the world of evolution and natural selection. As you collect Darwin points and strive to become the ultimate champion of adaptation, you'll be on the edge of your seat, anticipating the outcome of each era and the final tally of points. With playtime ranging from 60 to 120 minutes, Darwin's Choice is a game that will keep you engaged and entertained for hours, and its educational and environmental themes make it a great choice for anyone looking for a game that's both fun and thought-provoking.
