The digital adaptation of popular board game Evolution<\/em> has been on our radar for a while now \u2013 we were hoping it would turn up last year<\/a> – but sadly it never materialised.<\/p>\n

With any luck, this game will join our list of other great mobile board games<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Looks like it\u2019s a sure thing for 2019, however, and we won\u2019t have to wait long! North Star Games\u2019 digital arm, North Star Digital, has announced that Evolution<\/em> will be releasing on both iOS AND Android on February 12th<\/sup>, alongside its PC release.<\/p>\n

The physical game has been played by over 1.6 million people, so the digital version will have a lot to live up to. The press release mentions the digital game is \u201cinspired by\u201d<\/em> the physical game, so don\u2019t expect a straight 1:1 interpretation, but it sounds like they\u2019re trying to make the best use of the potential of software:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2026Evolution retains the elements which made the analog edition so popular with more than 1.6 million players worldwide but offers a swift pace and features only possible in a modern video game. Meticulously designed so even those who are completely unfamiliar with the original board game can jump in right away\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Evolution<\/em> digital will be a four-player game, and will have the following features:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • A Learn-as-you-Play tutorial.<\/li>\n
  • A solo campaign mode with A.I.<\/li>\n
  • Skill-based, cross-platform multiplayer with options for turn-based or simultaneous play.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    No mention of pass-and-play, which would be a shame but perhaps it\u2019s something that might be added in in the future.<\/p>\n

    Evolution<\/em> will be $14.99 \/ \u00a39.99 on Steam, where-as both mobile versions will have a \u2018free-to-try\u2019 version, with the full game available for $9.99. It\u2019s unclear whether this will be via an IAP or a separate app SKU, but we\u2019ll follow up.\u00a0There will be a 20% launch-discount during the first week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The game enjoyed a successful Kickstarter campaign back in October 2017, where it raised over $100,000 USD.<\/p>\n
