About

Evolution is a real time simulation of the evolutionary process. Creatures have DNA that defines their structure, traits, how they see the world around them, and how they react to it. Each creature is unique, most die quickly, some die a little slower, and others survive (some just like rocks, they usually die too). It is the survivors that reproduce and mutate, just a little, but enough to adapt to their environment. Early creatures are pretty basic but they have the capacity for some pretty elaborate behaviors and, to be honest, I am not sure how interesting this could get.

What is happening now

Evolution is a turn-based strategy card and board game released in 2016, available on PC, Mac, and Linux. The recent coverage discussing the game appears to focus on Digimon's evolution mechanics within the anime franchise rather than Evolution itself. Given the limited direct coverage of the game in the provided materials, the available information doesn't reflect recent updates or community activity around Evolution's own development or player base.
