Description
Evolution: Flight, an exciting expansion for the Evolution game, brings avian species into the ecosystem. Now, your species can swoop down on unsuspecting prey from above, escape predators by taking to the skies, or soar to new locations when food runs low. Will flight be your ticket to victory or lead to your downfall? Dive into the expanding Evolution world and find out! With this expansion, you can choose between creating a regular species or a flying one. Flying species come with unique costs and benefits. Costs include discarding 2 cards instead of 1 to create them, having a maximum body size of 3 instead of 6, and an upkeep cost of food equal to their body size, which represents the food needed to maintain wings. Advantages are that some new expansion traits like Dive - Bomb and Brood Parasite only work for flying creatures, flying species can take food from the Cliff for an extra food source, they can't be attacked unless the attacking Carnivore also has Flight, and if a flying species is also a Carnivore, you can discard cards from your hand to negate Symbiosis, Warning Call, or Climbing when it attacks. This expansion changes tactics and strategy significantly but keeps the core mechanics of the base game, making it easy to learn.
How to use: First, decide whether you want to create a normal species or a flying one in the game. If you choose a flying species, remember to discard 2 cards instead of 1 during creation. When it comes to upkeep, make sure to set aside food equal to the body size of your flying species. When using the special traits of flying species, like Dive - Bomb or taking food from the Cliff, follow the game rules. Notice that a flying species can't be attacked by non - flying Carnivores. If your flying species is also a Carnivore, you can discard cards from your hand to bypass certain defenses during an attack. Attention: Keep track of the body size limit of 3 for flying species. Also, remember the upkeep cost, as not having enough food for it might affect your species. Maintenance advice: There's no real physical maintenance for this game expansion. Just keep the cards in good condition, away from moisture and excessive sunlight, and organize them well for easy gameplay.
