What to Expect

In Evolution: Continents, players explore animal development on multiple continents after the breakup of Pangaea. Each continent has its own food supply, and animals adapt to environmental changes or migrate between locations. The game uses cards and dice to simulate evolving animal communities in parallel ecosystems.

Who Is This Game For?

This game targets experienced players aged 12 and up who enjoy quick 30-minute sessions. It's ideal for those familiar with the base Evolution game and looking to expand their experience with new adaptation and migration mechanics.

How It Works

Evolution: Continents centers on Dice Rolling and Hand Management mechanics. Players use cards to manage their species' traits and dice to resolve random events or actions. Separate continents develop independently, creating multiple concurrent play areas that require strategic planning.
