## Description
If you thought the base game of Evolution: The Origin of Species was already wild with its toxic predators, hidden burrows, and intricate food chains, get ready for more! The Time to Fly expansion takes diversity to a whole new level, opening up a gigantic array of new possibilities for your creatures to evolve. Now, besides hiding in super-tough shells, they can release ink to throw off attackers or, as the name suggests, grow wings and take to the skies to escape danger. This expansion not only adds new traits and strategies but also exponentially increases the number of unique animal combinations you can create. If there were already over 50,000 different creatures before, with Time to Fly, that number jumps to over 50 million! This means each game will offer a different experience, and that seemingly harmless little animal might just be a deadly trap. It's a fantastic addition for those who enjoy the base game and want more complexity and variety in their evolutionary simulations. Prepare to see nature (and your game table) get even wilder!
