Bios: Genesis

In solitaire mode, competitively or cooperatively you simulate the origins of live on Earth – you begin as an organic compound of one to three markers. Amino acids regulate the metabolism, lipids generate cells, pigments regulate energy uptake and storage and nucleic acids govern replication. Aim of the game is to first create autocatalytic life and then Darwinian life forms. A turn begins with an event phase on an active terrain type. In the assignment phase a starting Biont is assigned to a refugium; in the autocatalytic phase, you roll for each refugium and relocate manna; a double allows you to start Darwinian life on your board. When there are no more events or Earth becomes inhabitable, you win with most markers on organisms and your Bionts. The advanced game introduces macro-organisms.
