Evolution Plantarum

Thorns and parasites

You breed your own species and must make do with different amounts of food. Each round comprises the phases Development, Food supply, Food and Extinction plus drawing cards. Each phase is resolved by each player. Or development you play cards, using them either as animal or as characteristics. Food is determined by dice roll. To feed you take one food marker per round. If animals are not sufficiently fed they become extinct, including all their characteristics, and are discarded. When all cards are gone, you score for surviving animals and for each of their characteristics, with bonuses for special characteristics.

In this expansion plants evolve and develop. Due to the new characteristics and types - Fungus, Liana, Carnivorous plants, Ephemerals, Mycorrhiza, Root Vegetables, Trees, Parasitic Plants, Spiky, Protein Rich, Officinalis or Honey Plant – the structure of the turn changes and you can take influence on the size and availability of the food basis.

Plant characteristics can be played on a plant card on the table or face-down as a new animal for the player, or on an animal of the active player; all plants are available for all players; by adding characteristics you can protect them from certain animals who lack the necessary characteristic to overcome the protection. Animals can be hidden in shelters from being eaten by carnivores or carnivorous plants. The Random Mutations expansion is necessary to play.

This Plantarum expansion provides even more options and variability as well as challenging choices for a game with a rare and interesting topic which meanwhile has been picked up for publication in USA and Germany as well.
