Bios:Origins 2nd edition

Represent an intelligent species developing technologies, economics, politics, and consciousness in Bios:Origins Second Edition. This is the 3rd and final game of the Bios trilogy.

We have reworked the game Origins from ground up, keeping its bottom-up take on civilization games, but with new features to integrate it with the arc from the predecessor games Bios:Genesis and Bios:Megafauna (second edition). The old Origins had dice, these are gone, but the classic map is retained.

Bios:Origins include 2 maps. One traditional Earth map and one more empty ocean map. New is a hexgrid, found on the back of the map board, for building custom maps. This can be used to to create custom maps using the punch out hexes included in Bios:Origins or recreate the cratons from an end state of Bios:Megafauna (second edition) if you are playing a trilogy campaign game. 

The empty ocean map can be used in your Bios:Megafauna game too if you want, while playing that.

The cards have been sorted in categories of Culture, Politics, and Industry, and a Market has been added. Designers: Phil Eklund & Jon Manker.

Number of players: 1-4

Time: 90-120

Age: 12+ 

NOTE! Misprint in rulebook. Only in total 205 cards. There are only 119 Idea Cards.

(Please be aware that changes in shipping dates may occur due to this crazy world we live in. We promise to do all we can to make this wonderful game available as fast as we possibly can!)
