What this is
Adapt their species in an ecosystem of scarce food, predators, and a dynamic climate. The Climate standalone game dramatically changes game play with several simple additions to the Evolution base set: Players draw 4 cards +1 per species per round (instead of 3 cards + 1 per species). The climate moves along a Climate Track based upon the food cards played each round.
