Evo: The Last Gasp of the Dinosaurs is a German-style board game for three to five players, designed by Philippe Keyaerts and published by Eurogames. In the game, players control the survival and evolution of a species of dinosaurs called Dinos. They guide their migrations to temperate climates, acquire the perfect traits to survive, and compete with other players for food and territory. The game was first released in 2001 and has since been re-released in a second edition.

Why is Evo Popular?

Evo is a simple strategy game at its core, but it is made more interesting by the constantly changing climate. Positions that can be advantageous in one turn are often deadly a few turns later, so the balance of power shifts frequently. The game has been praised for its replayability and the way it balances strategy and luck. It has also been noted for its educational value, as it teaches players about the concept of natural selection and evolution.
