Adapt!

In the current board game space, science-based games often have a high barrier of entry. Rather than being purely educational or just entertaining, Adapt! bridges the gap between creativity and science to celebrate the eclectic beauty of prehistory.

The board of Adapt! is a direct representation of a portion of the geologic timescale: from the origin of life in the Cambrian to the demise of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous. The structure is split up by the "Big Five" mass extinction events that have defined our idea of prehistory. All board and box illustrations are based on time-period-accurate paleoart, and all card illustrations are inspired by natural occurrences or animals.

The main gameplay concept, featuring color- coded Adaptation cards that are used in different eras, was inspired by the idea that the success of traits depends entirely on the context of an ever-changing environment.

Adapt! is for ages 6+, requires 3-6 players, and takes 25-45 minutes. No prior knowledge of geologic time or evolution is needed to play.
