How to play Evolution: The Beginning

Evolution: The Beginning has players use cards to give their animals traits and decide how to keep them fed as the ecosystem changes. It feels like a light, direct survival puzzle with occasional pressure from competing species. It suits families and newer players who want a short animal-themed card game, especially with two players.
