Darwin’s Choice (Kickstarter Special)

Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 8.42. This game is for 2 to 6 players and was published in 2019. It's the Kickstarter Edition of Darwin’s Choice Board Game, usually not available in retail stores. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless stated otherwise. After millions of years of earth's wasteland, animal life emerges. The world is ever - changing, and only adaptable species will survive. Darwin’s Choice is a competitive card game. Players create animal species from over 220 animal cards and place them in different vegetation zones. Adaptability to these zones ensures survival and earns Darwin points. Species with high competitive strength also get rewards across all zones. During the 3 - 4 eras, conditions change due to vegetation zone shifts and event card effects. You need to adapt past successful species through mutations or migrations, while keeping an eye on other players. Victory points (Darwin Points) are assigned to animal species and collected after the last era. This makes the game exciting until the end as species extinction means losing Darwin points. It's a strategic game where you must carefully use your cards. The large number of possibilities for you and your opponents brings high variability, making planning ahead essential. Card - drawing randomness requires flexibility. Each game is unique, ensuring high replayability. All pictures, icons, and symbols are hand - illustrated by French illustrator Rozenn Grosjean, giving the game a distinct style. At TheGameSteward, we're happy to support campaigns like this one. A large part of your spending on Darwin’s Choice will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have questions about buying or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
