Evolution is an engine building game that snowballs. When you make a mistake, you pay for it immediately with fewer points that round, and you pay for that mistake again in every future round by competing with fewer resources.

Original Evolution is still great, and he’s said that as a cutthroat, punishing, gamery competitive game, it’s still excellent, and I definitely agree with that! I absolutely love original Evolution.
