In Darwin's Footsteps
Set off on a journey and gather information about animals!
It has been 20 years since Charles Darwin's expedition around the world. The naturalist is now writing a book on the origin of species and wants to gather new data on animal life, especially those found in areas where he has not conducted research, namely in North America, Asia, and parts of Africa. He is no longer young, and moreover, he spends a lot of time writing and taking care of his family. Therefore, he entrusts this mission to researchers recommended by the Royal Society in London.
In Darwin's Footsteps is a simple and enjoyable family game based on collecting sets of tiles. During the game, you take on the role of young naturalists who have just boarded the Beagle ship. You embark on an expedition where you will investigate various animal species, explore the terrain, and create maps, publish your discoveries, and formulate theories. Each person strives to gather more victory points than their rivals, that is, to have the greatest contribution to the creation of Darwin's work!
How does it work?
During the game, participants take turns making their moves, and each turn consists of 2 steps:

- Investigating an animal or being inspired by a character's work, during which the naturalist chooses 1 of 3 tiles from the column or row where the Beagle ship figure is located and places it in their notebook.
- Traveling on the Beagle ship, meaning moving the figure by the appropriate number of spaces depending on which tile was chosen in the previous move.

Each of the tiles available on the board provides a bonus: sometimes it is a fixed number of points, other times items that will score points based on how many of them we have. The interacting elements are the heart of the entire game, and skillful use of them will bring us closer to victory. Bonuses are also awarded for completing rows and columns as well as theory tokens that we can gain during the game.
The fun ends when each player has placed exactly 12 tiles in their notebook. The winner is the person who collected the most points after accounting for all bonuses.
Why will you love this game?

- It is an extremely simple game in terms of rules, and at the same time maximally engaging in set collection. It is accessible to new players and offers many strategic possibilities.
- The game constantly forces us to decide which move will be the most profitable. Completing rows and columns provides us with additional points, on the other hand, every time we cover a tile with another, we receive a theory token, and along with it bonus points at the end of the game. It is up to us which strategy we choose this time.
- The multitude of available combinations of animal and character tiles, as well as additional goals that direct our actions, ensure that we have plenty of options to try out, and the individual gameplay sessions differ significantly from each other.
- In the instructions, you will find interesting facts about the life of Darwin himself as well as about various species of animals, and the tiles allow us to learn about the locations where they occur.
