THIS IS THE GAME WHERE BIODIVERSITY WINS
EVOOOLVE celebrates all the species of our planet, that have overcome millions of years of adversity to be here with us!
Thanks to its unique design, you can play Evooolve in 4 different ways, and at different levels of increasing complexity
This means that the game’s lifespan is longer than other board games, and it can be brought out again as the children grow up. All of this connects with our values of sustainability and responsibility for the planet.
The game EVOOOLVEs together with your abilities!
The game is based on serious science: we sourced The Tree of Life from recent genome research and used its concepts and findings to design Evooolve.
1 – Puzzle guided by the numbers on the poster
2 – Puzzle without a guide
3 – Biodiversity mini bingo: each player uses 1 card and the organisms that fit on those categories only
4 – Biodiversity big bingo:
each player plays with all 3 cards
Instructions for the Bingo
Evolution has been traditionally represented as a tree with humans at the top.
The visuals of the game move away from this old representation: instead, Evooolve contains the origin of life at its centre and all the organisms that have evolved from it expand radially from that point. In Evooolve all organisms have equal importance in the history of evolution.
You will count the points with the dries beans from the paper bag.
You could also use them to grow your bean stalk too.
You could use any little object: acorns, chickpeas, pieces of paper…
The illustrations have been developed to best balance the needs of scientifically accurate visuals, and small-size printing. Some examples of the visuals you will find in the game are
We don’t need plastic!
We loved to dive into children’s humour. I challenge you not to have a chuckle when you will discover organisms like
The board has been carefully laser-cut, so each piece will connect with the others while preserving each illustration. After long research, I am very proud to have finally found the appropriate manufacturer that allowed me to think out of the usual schemes, and to bring the innovation and sustainability that I desired.
This is how laser-cut works. I did endless tests and prototyping, so all the cuts will be obtained precisely around each illustration.
