Primordial Soup
Evolve amoebas that feed on each other's waste, buying genes and reproducing to dominate a shifting pond.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy medium-weight strategy with genuine interaction and a witty scientific theme, and like optimizing an evolving position.
Not for you if…
You want something light or fast. The bodily-function theme, ninety-minute length, and fiddly phases won't suit everyone.
Vibe's take
A thinky ecosystem engine where positioning, gene-buying, and reading the food web matter, with a dry sense of humor about survival.

About this game
You guide a species of primitive amoebas through evolution, feeding on the excreta of your rivals in a shared, ever-shifting ecosystem. Each round your organisms drift or swim, eat, weather random environmental shifts, then buy new genes and reproduce. Steer your evolution smartly to grow your population and win before the environment cards run dry.
