{"product_id":"primordial-soup","title":"Primordial Soup","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Primordial Soup each player controls a species of primitive \"amoeboid\" organisms. Together these species form an ecosystem where each feeds on the excreta of the others. To win a player must guide the evolution of their species to increase their population and the sophistication of their genes.\n\nEach round consists of various phases. Firstly each organism must move (either by drifting or under its own power) and then feed. Then the environment undergoes a random change which changes the direction of drift and may force some organisms to give up genes. Then the species may buy new genes, and then may reproduce. At this point some organisms will die and finally each species is scored. This is repeated until either a species gets at least 42 points or the environment cards are exhausted.\n\nThe possible genes include genes for enhanced control of movement, more efficient metabolism, more efficient reproduction, attack and defence.\n\nExpanded by:\n\n    Primordial Soup: Freshly Spiced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.73 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doris Matthäus, Frank Nestel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Doris \u0026 Frank","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51909516624088,"sku":"SB-B376156D1D36-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/cmv5atx9cjf2z95iwb9i9984vf4b.jpg?v=1785465383","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/primordial-soup","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
