Watch “Review of On The Origin of Species - Board Game Review,” a board game review for On the Origin of Species from Party Tails Games on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Party Tails Games on YouTube:
Join Charles Darwin on his journey across the Galapagos Islands, researching and discovering new species with the tile-placement board game On The Origin of Species! It’s a tile placement, hand management game where players will either place cubes on tiles already on the board or turn in those cubes to place new species tiles. There’s an interesting mix of competitive and cooperative play that occurs as tiles are added and switched out on the board. We’ll give you all of our thoughts in our full review.
We were given a copy of On The Origin of Species from the publisher so we could do this review video!

About On the Origin of Species, from BoardGameGeek:
"I am very anxious to see the Galapagos Islands, -- I think both the Geology & Zoology cannot fail to be very interesting." -- Charles Darwin, Letter to his sister, Catherine in August 1835.
Assist Charles Darwin during the Beagle journey across the Galapagos Islands, discovering new species and researching them in order to improve your knowledge.
During their turn, the active player must choose between two actions:
Research: Put 2 research pieces on 2 different species tiles on the board, gaining the knowledge of air, land or water habitat.
Discover: use the acquired habitat knowledge to place new species tiles on the board, obtaining victory points and evolution, characters and objects cards. Additionally advance the Beagle on its track.
The game finishes when the Beagle reaches the last space of its trip, leaving the archipelago through New Zealand. The players score the evolution points according to the final goal card, adding them to the points obtained during the game. The player with more points in the scoring track wins.
