The diversity of living organisms inhabiting our planet is astonishing. According to the theory of evolution, random mutations occur all the time, granting new traits to animals and plants. These traits are then tested through natural selection. Animals with beneficial traits propagate more successfully than others, expand their habitat areas, and effectively protect themselves against predators and unfavorable conditions. Such species dominate the ecosystem, while poorly adapted animals become extinct.
Evolution. New World is an updated and extended version of the basic Evolution. The Origin of Species game. It includes both well-known animal traits and new ones, complete with refined descriptions and colorful illustrations. Food is now generated using Area cards, and animals can use shelter to hide from predators.
*****
Every ecosystem is a complex combination of living organisms and the environment. Even a small change in any element affects the entire system, but balance is usually restored quickly. However, sometimes a random event leads to the butterfly effect - an unpredictable cascade of changes that can completely transform the whole biosphere.
The Butterfly Effect expansion gives you a new and unique way to play Evolution: New World. In the box, you’ll find:
- 13 new traits and the Seashore Area. Add more gameplay depth and create dynamic survival strategies for your animals.
- The Solo mode. In the Alien World scenario you will fight 1 on 1 against the merciless Dominator and insatiable Devastator for supremacy or create your own monsters to compete with.
- Additional tokens. With the expansion, up to 6 players can enjoy Evolution together.
- Butterfly Effect scenario. Start a chain reaction of random events that affect the game’s course and change the evolutionary process.

Interestingly i had exactly the opposite feeling about the two versions... 😅 I think the northStar version is much more in depth with the theme and it transmits very well the feeling of survival and struggle, in particular with (fairly predictable) moments of plenty and scarcity of food, fuelling the competition between species, sometimes even your own! You can also change your traits to adapt to new needs, you can control population and body size trying to get more points but then learning that you have to be careful or you'll be without food, etc... there is so much more about the topic. instead the new game feels like a watered down version that is just a general card-battle game which only marginally touches the theme of the evolution.

Oh my this is an amazing comparison video thanks so much for this! I have never played the evolution series and hence wondering which one to get - so perfect video for me! However, after seeing the comparison I still think the original North Star one seems better. I guess for playtime issue you can just remove some cards at random from the draw deck so that it won’t take forever to finish the game - just like we did for dominant species marine… I think the playtime issue with original game was a design flaw as all players count use same number of cards so for a two players games it may take 2 hours to complete whereas for 5 players it may be 50 mins

Thank you for confirming that they're of the same series as the other Evolution game. (The info at my friendly local gaming store was somewhat lacking.)

Are they definitely from the same series? They're from different games companies?

In the northStar version they brought in an extra game designer who reworked the gameplay collaborating with the other 2 designers (who are the ones that created the other versions).

How do you feel about the point scoring happening at the end of the game? Doesn't it make the early game rounds feel pointless? (no pun intended)

Thank you for watching and taking the time to ask. I don't miss it as it adds a different tension of "will my specie(s) make it to the last epoch?" I'm sure you could play with feeding points as a variant if you add in the tokens from the other game to help keep track.
I RANKED Every ROOT FACTION in the game!
