EvoHom

EvoHom transports players millions of years back in time to test their skills as ancestral human populations (hominins) with elements of semi-cooperation, worker placement, and a unique dice rolling mechanism that models genetic recombination.

Each game takes a unique journey through human evolution, starting with a randomized environmental scenario that is based on scientific research into climates where hominins thrived.

Cooperate with other player’s hominin populations to gather food to survive, compete for opportunities to grow your population, and introduce genetic variation into your population to change your physical traits (phenotypes).

Utilize your actions, with some surprises along the way, to evolve and grow your population to best fit the environment!
