CHITSUse ‘chits' or counters to represent all units: allies, armies, jumpships, etc. Each player should have a set of blank 'control' marker chits of a unique color. Put control markers on worlds and unit stacks to indicate ownership. Ally chits are placed next to the owning player, not on the map. SET UPEach player begins with: 1 Homeworld 3 Nobles 3 House Troops 3D6 Solats Any 2 Armies unique to that homeworld 1 Nuclear Arsenal 2 Jumpships X Random Allies: 8 in a 2 player game, 5 with 3 players, 4 in a 4 player.
VARIANTSLarger maps, Specific scenarios, Jumpships move 4, Higher upkeep costs... EVOLVEDINTRODUCTONIt took 3.5 billion years to make this game. WINNINGThe player with the most species at the end of the game wins. COUNTER SETSEach player has a set of counters of a unique color. Each counter set has 100+ counters. Each set has ten counters marked #1, another ten marked #2, and so on.
THE GLOBEThe map is a 6 X 6 grid. It has 36 spaces. 9 spaces are “Land” spaces. 9 are “Open Water” spaces. 18 are “Island” spaces. The top row and bottom row are Arctic (Polar) The two middle rows are Tropical. The intermediate rows are Temperate. SPECIESHave an index card for each of your species. Every species has 5 attributes. Record on the card the values of the attributes. Also, be sure to name your species. (Kingdom, Phyllum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)
SETUPEach player starts with one species with the following attributes: Diet = Herbivore Terrain = Water Climate = Hot Adapted Size = Tiny Speed = Slow This will be each players “#1” species (use #1 counters). Each player starts with 3 population counters. Place counters in 3 adjacent spaces not containing opponent’s populations.

GEOLOGIC TIME PHASEThe game ends after 16 turns. Move a time marker one space (Era, Period, Epoch) on the following track: 1. Archean (Start) 2. Proterozoic 3. Paleozoic 4. Cambrian 5. Ordovician 6. Silurian 7. Devonian 8. Carboniferous 9. Permian 10. Mesozoic 11. Triassic 12. Jurassic 13. Cretaceous 14. Cenozoic 15. Tertiary 16. Quaternary (End) RANDOM EVENTSPlayers share a common deck. Each player fills hand to 7 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
MASS EXTINCTIONSExtinction cards may not be played until the Ordovician Period Players take turns playing Extinction cards. The player with the (most) fastest species goes first. If there is a tie, the smartest player goes first and play proceeds clockwise. To play the cards Predation, Competition, and Parasitism you must have a Species with the indicated attributes in the same space as an opponent’s Species with the indicated attributes. For example: You play Predation: Pick one of your Carnivore Species and pick any one species of a smaller size. In all spaces that contain populations of both, the prey populations are removed from play. REPRODUCTIONA space may contain an absolute maximum of 3 species (Total of all players). In each space that you have species, pick one of those species to reproduce. Add one Population Counter of the appropriate type to the space.
SPECIATIONPlay (discard) an evolve card to have one of your populations evolve. Replace one population counter with a counter that has an unused number. Roll once on the Evolution table. The Roll determines which attribute of the population changes. The Attribute goes up or down one level. Roll 1D6: on 1-3 go up. On 4-6 go down. If you are at one end of the scale you automatically move towards the other end. The population becomes a new species. Write up a new index record card for it. A population may only evolve once per turn. MIGRATIONSFor each of your species, you may pick up to X number of populations to move to an adjacent space. X is determined by the Species Speed Attribute. You may move a species into a space that already has 3 species in it. If a space has too many species, a random species in that space is destroyed.
