Evolve

Evolve is an intriguing new family board game for those who want something a little more interesting than traditional board games. It has some educational content too. Its for ages 9+ to adults and can be played by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 players in around 45 minutes. Great interaction between players as they try to gain the best habitat (Era cards) for their playing pieces and be first to create a path of six era cards (the habitat of creatures from bygone eras). Win by reaching the end card first with your playing piece. Era cards can gained in several ways including by an unusual auction (bid for habitat). All the while natural events (Thunderbolts) can spring up at random and hinder or sometimes help a player in his quest to reach the end of his/her path. —description from the publisher
