Finished our first game.
A potential box cover image I commissioned. I'm imagining this against an all white background, without any text on the front of the box (title, etc will appear on the side of the box).

Overview

Circle of Life, Winner of the Mind Sports Olympiad's Game of the Year award, and winner of the Best Combinatorial Game Award, is a strategy game where players evolve species to eat each other in a growing ecosystem.

Despite 1-minute rules, the game recreates key aspects of real ecosystems:

It starts with simple species, which evolve to become more diverse and complex. Species get more complex as you go up the food chain. Simple species reproduce, die, and evolve at higher rates than more complex ones. When a species' population is high, another species often evolves to eat it. When a critter at the top of the food chain dies, it feeds back into the bottom, to complete the Circle of Life.
