About this game

Create species in the deep ocean ecosystem by playing trait cards that define how they feed, defend, and interact. The surface ocean follows familiar Evolution rules, but the deep ocean introduces over 100 unique trait cards that break the rules in creative ways. Species can be gentle filter feeders or terrifying apex predators, and the ecosystem dynamically shifts as players adapt to each other's strategies. Scenario cards change setup conditions for variety. A standalone Evolution game that goes deeper in every sense.
