Evolution: The Video Game

Bug fixes for the intelligence trait and multiplayer games.
    Fixes to the intelligence trait and double clicking errors.
  • Fixes in multiplayer when cards are replayed to different spots.

Climate Multiplayer Bug Fixes
With the increase in Climate Matchmade Games, we've found and patched a couple of pesky bugs in the multiplayer.

The final Trait Pack in Evolution has arrived
AntiSocial Species refuse to join the group, and find their own Food where the herd doesn't go. An Apex Predator adds a Carnivore and massive Size, but is unable to attack small Species.  A Carnivore may attack Quills once, however it will never make that mistake again.



You can add any combination of these cards to AI games, or make your own deck for Pass & Play and Private games. You can also add one to public multiplayer games, which is then added into the combined deck everyone plays from.

In addition, when you invite folks to your private game, they are able to also use any purchases or expansions you have active.

The Daily Challenge is released, multiplayer is updated.
This is a fun one. Each day, you get one attempt to set a high score the Daily Challenge. The Daily Challenge is a one-round user-designed challenge with Cards from any Promo Pack or Expansion. It only takes a few minutes to play, and gives everyone a shot at the leaderboard, you don't have to grind to make it.

In addition, there's a Challenge Editor feature in there to create new Daily Challenges. Create your best challenge and submit it, and others can play it and rate it. The highest rated challenges will then become a Daily Challenge for others to test themselves against.

We've also updated our multiplayer with a new backend system that we hope will be much more robust at handling folks dropping games and timing out, along with other various bug fixes.

Check back every day for the days' new challenge and set a record for having the highest average placement each day of the week. Enjoy both of these new features!

Climate Board Game Released!
Experience the fury of the elements as the climate swings between deadly heat and epic ice ages. Climate is the sequel to Evolution, adding another layer of strategy as you protect your Species from extreme temperatures as well as starvation and carnivores.



Adaptations like cooling frills and large-scale migrations will protect your species over eons of time.



Devastating events drive an epic narrative that is unique to each game.

New Multiplayer System and Async is Released


Asynchronous Play is out of beta! Asynchronous means turns can happen whenever you're able. Get interrupted by your annoying boss? Get back to the game after the zoom call. Want to play with your friend in Australia but it's 3 in the morning there? No problem. Play anywhere, anytime without needing to be online at the same time.

We've heard your concerns on making sure multiplayer is bulletproof. Our lead developer has rebuilt the mutliplayer system from the ground up, with a robust architecture capable of always recovering the game state. Jump online and give it a try!

All New Promo Cards now available as a bundle in Promo Pack 1
Three more new traits have arrived at the Watering Hole, to complete Promo Pack 1. We've heard your concerns about buying Cards individually, so we've put all of the Promo Cards together in a discounted pack. You will get the discount and the bundle for the remaining cards even if you've already purchased Venom or Gigantism.

These traits are completely optional, but will help make the game experience fresh for our longtime players, in both singleplayer and multiplayer.



  • Timid: Sometimes being careful pays off! This shy Trait is invulnerable to attack as it stays hidden until everyone else has eaten.
  • Insectivore: Insectivores find bugs among the plants, giving them the ability to eat massive amounts of food.
  • Trampling: Controlling the Food supply can be more powerful than any Carnivore. Squash excess food when it suits you with Trampling!



Promo Cards and Balance
You don't need to have any of these cards to play Evolution, these are simply to enhance the experience and provide new ways to play. We wanted to make sure they don't give any advantage in multiplayer, so all players in a multiplayer game get to use them when they are added to the deck. We hope you enjoy this new content.

New Traits are here and enabled for multiplayer
Our biggest addition since launch: New Promo Traits are now available for purchase in the game. In a balanced ecosystem, each new Trait impacts all other Traits as well. You'll need new strategies to survive against creatures using these mighty traits. Buy them on Steam, use them on any platform. Use them:
• Against the AI in single-player games
• In your own custom private games
• In public match-made multiplayer games



Public Multiplayer "Find A Match"
You can also use your promo cards in match-made multiplayer. Here's how it works: each player is allowed to add one promo card to the deck for everyone to use (the others do not need to own the promo card).



No Bots in Multiplayer

By popular request, match-made multiplayer will no longer use computer opponents by default. You've told us they take the human element out of multiplayer games. Public games will have a three person minimum before they kick off.

As always, join us in Discord to let us know what you think, discuss strategies, and beta test future cards.
