GAME OVERVIEW
When interminably, all you can identify in the horizon is the line that detaches the sea from the sky, the glimpse of a distant shore seemingly appearing before you will make you shiver at the understanding that the adventure is about to begin.
An exploration through the Galapagos, a magic place of inconceivable beauty and endless biodiversity, where you will gather repertoires and expand your knowledge of the natural sciences.
After inspiring hours spent studying and getting to enlightening conclusions, you will rest under a sparkling sky, admiring the stunning complexity of the animal realm.



Darwin’s Journey is a worker placement euro game by the award winning Simone Luciani and Nestore Mangone. Players recall Charles Darwin’s memories of his adventure through the Galapagos islands, which contributed to the development of his theory of evolution.
With an innovative worker progression system, each worker will have to study the disciplines that are a prerequisite to perform several actions in the game, such as: exploration, correspondence, gathering and dispatch of repertoires found in the island to museums in order to contribute to the human knowledge of biology.
The game lasts 5 rounds, and with several short and long term objectives every action you take will grant victory points in different ways. The tension and strategic planning that increases over the duration of the match and the fascinating vibe that the game conveys, makes Darwin’s Journey one of the most ambitious projects that Thundergryph have crafted in its story as a board game publisher.

Thanks for participating.
This game looks great!
Thank you for promoting SCIENCE!
This looks so amazing (as do all TG games ofcourse)! Very excited for this 🙂
This looks so gorgeous! Can’t wait for it!
I’m already so excited for this :D.
Watching twitch, the game looks amazing.
How heavy will it be? It looks fantastic and intriguing
Wouldn’t know until they have the final components 😉
This looks really fabulous!
The game looks very nice. How different does the game play each time and how complex is it?
So excited!
It’s a really interesting game!
Very interesting ! Cant wait for it !
Very excited for this release!
I love the artwork! Seems like it would take a while to fully figure out, but very intriguing!
Amazing look, as always 😀
Looks like a fun game!
This game looks great! Very curious for this one!
yay! Darwin!
I am so glad that I passed on The Origin of the Species and find this!!!
Why would you be glad? You should be sad. Origin of species is a fantastic game that is highly underrated and overlooked. It was also first to do this theme.
This game looks almost identical to Origin Of The Species, from the theme to certain gameplay elements and even to the graphic design. The board game market is relatively small in the grand scheme of things so did Thundergyph really not research the market ahead of time or is this a blatant appropriation?
These games tend to be in development for quite a while. I’d say they were in development around the same time and Origin of Species just beat them to kickstarter.
We own and have been playing On the Origin of Species. The gameplay of Darwin’s Journey looks pretty different. We are going to back this even though we already own the first game. I think they play pretty differently.That one is lighter and just works in a different way.
It looks gorgeous! I can’t wait for the KS!
Interesting theme
I love the art direction. But you almost always hit my soft spot, and I have to buy it, although I was sure I am not going to back anything.
So nice game and a beloved theme!
Big fan of all your games, and own quite a number. Look forward to seeing more of this one, especially as I read for Zoology at university.
Amazing! Hope that the KS support an Italian language.
Beautiful game!
This looks really interesting!
What a great looking game. I enjoyed the playthrough that you streamed to announce the title.
Will be there an Italian Edition of the game?
This looks like a very fun game to me!
