Embark on a transformative expedition alongside Charles Darwin during the historic Beagle voyage across the Galapagos Islands. As Darwin, you'll immerse yourself in groundbreaking research and discovery, unraveling the mysteries of evolution as you explore an ever-changing natural world.

Gameplay Overview
On your turn, decide between two pivotal actions:

  • Research: Place two research tokens on different species tiles to uncover essential habitat insights—be it from the air, land, or water. This action deepens your scientific understanding and prepares you for the next phase of discovery.

  • Discover: Utilize your accumulated habitat knowledge to introduce new species tiles onto the board. This not only grants you valuable victory points, evolution tokens, and intriguing character and object cards but also propels the Beagle forward on its journey.

The game reaches its climax when the Beagle sails out of the archipelago via New Zealand. At that point, players tally their evolution points—combining the rewards earned during the game with bonus points from the final goal card—to determine the winner, crowned as the foremost pioneer in the study of natural history.

Immerse yourself in a game where every choice echoes the excitement and wonder of scientific discovery, mirroring Darwin’s own adventurous spirit on the Beagle journey.
