Hey rahdo. I know you have a whole sworm of board games that you can’t keep track of all updates and progress. But Evolution the Video game just came out for the iPhone app a couple days ago! Free download. ( with option to buy for more gameplay). The graphics are incredible and you still get exact same board game feel. Definitely worth a check.
Thank you so much for your run through. I just bought the game and have no idea how to play even though I have been reading the guide book twice. Thanks a lot!
How many different types of abilities and traits are there? Aside from the food value of them ofcourse. I didnt like wingspan much because it depended too much on chance and on the carda u get. Wanna know is this game the same or not?
sorry it's been years since i've played, so i don't remember specifics. but if you ask here: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/155703/evolution/forums/0 you're sure to get a solid answer :)
You are great and i love that you bring very new games closer to us especially kickstarter games. But could you please try to not burp every 20 seconds because it drives me crazy and it is not very professional. I cant watch the whole video especially with headphones while i hear this. Im sorry for this comment but I really mean it as a critique for improvement.
Choosing a trait because you know it will do better is called "intelligent design." Evolution is entirely different -- genetic mutations (which are random) are selected for over a long period time as they are more beneficial. Obviously Evolution as a concept does not mean that a game can be made about it which replicates any reality...
TheOmninovoi well, of course. you can't have a game that mimics evolution on any meaningful scale because then you'd have no player agency at all. so compromises have to be made... the game is really about the environmental pressures that drive evolution, and simulates that on a large scale, while still letting players have a good time. but yes, if you took all player choice out of the game, and replaced it all with random card selections, and let the simulation run, you'd have a better representation of evolution, but you'd also have no game :)
***** Haha, yeah, I'm not critiquing the gameplay or the run through -- just the idea that one could use evolution as a theme and then accidentally (perhaps) make a game about Intelligent Design. Which is rather silly.
"Dog eat dog" as the beagles are in the back like "WHAT?!" Lol

Great voice. Could be a sports announcer.
This sounds like a fun game
heartbreak at 3:30... I always cheer for the carnivores! Everyone does!
This first player marker is great :D
Thanks Rahdo
I see you are playing the new edition. Is it worth buying the first edition, or wait for the new one? Any major differences in gameplay?
shatnershairpiece no it's all just little tweaks. i mentioned them in the final thoughts actually
always thought evolution was like tou start of as a cell and well evolve and get bigger and stronger but i was like 79% percent wrong
Jonathan Mendoza , so are 79% of people .

+Dino Doric sorry, i don't do any editing, so you get me warts and all :)
New evolution doesn't come with those food token bags anymore now it comes with paper barriers 😒
This game premise is more intelligent design (the player is the designer/creator) than anything to do with evolution...
TheOmninovoi Interesting. Maybe the answer is somewhere between them...
? The answer?
