About the game
Darwin's Journey is a board game from Thundergryph, designed by Simone Luciani and Nestore Mangone (2023). It plays 1–4 players in 60–120 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 8.1 out of 10 and call it heavy (3.9 / 5 weight).
Darwin's Journey is a worker-placement Eurogame in which players recall Charles Darwin's memories of his adventure through the Galapagos islands, which contributed to the development of his theory of evolution.
With the game's innovative worker progression system, each worker will have to study the disciplines that are a prerequisite to perform several actions in the game, such as exploration, correspondence, gathering, and dispatch of repertoires found on the island to museums in order to contribute to the human knowledge of biology. The game lasts five rounds, and thanks to several short- and long-term objectives, every action you take will grant victory points in different ways.
