Mindbug: Beyond Evolution is a standalone expansion for the dueling card game Mindbug, co-created by Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering). It represents the most advanced version of the game, maintaining the simplicity of its core mechanics while adding greater tension, meaningful decisions, and surprising card interactions.
In the world of Mindbug, players battle for control over strange, mutated creatures born from a mix of science fiction, fantasy, and humor. In Beyond Evolution, creatures evolve—some have multiple evolutionary stages, allowing them to transform into stronger forms during the game.
Each player receives 10 cards and chooses 5 for their starting hand. On your turn, you can play a creature, attack, or use an ability marked “Action”—a new feature introduced in this expansion. Each player also has two Mindbug cards, which allow them to take control of an opponent’s creature as it is played. Some creatures can evolve into more powerful versions, adding a new layer of strategic depth. The expansion can be played on its own or combined with the base game and other expansions.
Mindbug: Beyond Evolution is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fast, clever, and highly dynamic dueling card game, full of mutated creatures, evolution, and tactical twists. 🧠🦠🃏
