What you do in a play session
If you've already ventured through the wonders of evolution in 'Darwin's Journey' and felt something was missing, get ready! This mini-expansion brings Charles Darwin himself to your board, and he doesn't come alone. With the 'Darwin's Crew' card, you gain access to a Special Action that unleashes Darwin's pawn for a single round.
And don't be fooled, this pawn is a real wildcard! It acts as a super-powered worker, equipped with six 'Purple Wax Seals' and the coveted 'Golden distinction.'

This addition, though small, injects an extra dose of strategy and flexibility, allowing you to optimize your turns and surprise your opponents (or yourself, in the solo mode).
It's the kind of expansion that doesn't radically change the game but adds that extra spice that fans love. If you're looking for new ways to score, optimize your actions, or simply have a powerful helping hand at a key moment, this mini-expansion is a find. It fits perfectly into the 'Darwin's Journey' experience, offering a new tactical layer without overcomplicating the rules. Ideal for those who want to boost their scientific expeditions and explore new strategies to prove their theory!
