The Flight expansion for Evolution, the FDR Editor’s Choice Award winner, is available now! If it isn’t already in your FLGS it will be very soon! Take to the skies with new traits that allow players to make avian species. The expansion comes with exciting new traits, new species boards for flying creatures, and even a new watering-hole-type board called The Cliffs. The expansion adds a lot more strategy to Evolution, and somehow managed to make a fantastic game even better!
