    In the Footsteps of Darwin

    Product Details

    Twenty years after his expedition around the world, Charles Darwin is writing On the Origins of Species. He wants to gather new information about animal life, particularly about continents he hardly explored. Who other than young naturalists, eager for discovery, could help the renowned scholar finish writing his most famous work?

    Players are junior naturalists who have just arrived aboard the Beagle to help Charles Darwin finish his book On the Origin of Species. During this journey, you will study animals, carry out cartographic surveys, publish your findings, and develop theories. Your goal is to score more Victory Points than your opponents to determine who contributed the most to the Origin of Species!

    Highlights:

    • HIGH QUALITY COMPONENTS: From the full color Beagle token, thick cardboard tiles and tokens, and watercolor illustrations, enjoy a beautiful and immersive experience.

    • EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION: Peruse the included appendix for information on all the species and historical figures featured in the game.

    • SIMPLE RULES, ENGAGING GAMEPLAY: Learn the rules in 5 minutes and jump straight into the fun, with mechanics that make sense thematically.
