Press release:
KENSINGTON, MD — Nov. 5, 2020.
North Star Digital Studios (a digital board game development studio from Kensington, MD) are today very thrilled and proud to announce that their award-winning tabletop strategy game “Evolution” (which has 3 million players worldwide across physical and digital editions) is coming to the Nintendo Switch on December 10th, 2020.

Pre-order before launch and receive the new Evolutionary Arms Race Promo Pack add-on containing five brand new trait cards for free. Show deadly stripes with the new Nintendo Switch exclusive tiger skin in local and cross-platform matchups.

Evolution, 2019’s Digital Board Game of the Year, has been rebuilt from the ground up with lightning quick Joy-Con™ support, making it the perfect platform for online play*, pass and play, and board gaming on the go. Its robust features include everything players of digital board games could ask for:

Master a single player campaign with 21 levels and distinct A.I. opponents
Chat or start real time and asynchronous games from your friends list
Find new opponents with skill-based online matchmaking
Climb the online multiplayer rankings and single player progression ladder
Keep cards close to the chest with pass and play optimized for Nintendo Switch
Test yourself against weekly challenges
Discover gorgeous hand-drawn species hidden throughout the game

Start from humble beginnings with an intuitive learn-while-playing tutorial and select traits to develop species to survive the harsh realities of the natural world. Are they at risk of being eaten by predators? Protect them with horns or a hard shell. Having trouble finding enough food in the watering hole? A long neck brings previously inaccessible food within reach.

Tinker with the nigh-infinite amount of genetic combinations while enjoying new artwork, animations, and a campaign mode complete with deadly bosses. Ascend the leaderboards and become the best digital board game biologist in the world, earning new avatars and other rewards. Cross-play with PC, Mac, iOS, and Android means there’s a whole world to play against.

Evolution Board Game arrives on Nintendo Switch on Dec. 10, 2020 everywhere except Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong. It is priced at $19.99, with pre-orders open today for Nintendo Switch and the full game available now on Steam, iOS, and Android.
