Evo

Migrate, breed, and auction genes for your dinosaurs to outlast a shifting climate and rival species.

A witty game of dinosaur survival where you migrate, breed, and mutate your Dinos to outlast a shifting climate and rival species. You bid at auction for genes that grant horns, fur, and other traits, then move your herds toward temperate zones as the weather changes each turn. Most successful evolution wins.

Who it's for

Groups who like accessible, interactive area games with auctions, conflict, and a sense of humor.

Not for you if…

You want low-luck, low-conflict strategy; dice fights and the gene auction swing outcomes, and it needs four or five players to really shine.

Vibe's take

A lively, mean, and funny scramble for warm ground, spiced with gene auctions and dice-driven fights.
