I'm playing Evolution, a board game adaptation by North Star Games. The game features a very interesting campaign mode with variations on AI strategy and card availability. The interface is good, with animations that do not slow the game pace down, easy-to-read values for population and body size, and tooltips for cards. The board game itself is fantastic, offering a good combination of strategy and luck as you use cards to create new creatures, give them varied attributes, increase their population (to earn more points), and increase their body size (to deter predators). The AI also offers a nice challenge, and online human opponents are also available. Evolution is about as good as a board game adaptation can be, with formidable AI, a decent interface, online play, and an intriguing campaign.
