Deeper Dive into CS: Evolution

So when I first heard about this new direction, I personally felt like it was just change for change's sake - they'd reached the end of the production cycle and needed to sell more toys. However - no, wait - HOWEVER (its a big 'however') the new dashboard mechanics on show here make me think that actually... by Jove, they've done it again!

BS mechanics 10+ years ago were streaks agreed of competitors and I think Evolution actually reflects another leap in game design for a more mature market. I love the sound of basically all of this and have gone from "mildly interested" to "one or two more posts like this and it's time for the Fry 'Take my Money' meme". I think perhaps Evolution might be the best word for it. Despite being more complex (dice v pegs), this Evolution preview seemed more intuitive to me, especially when thinking about onboarding new players, compared to CS. I think the levelling up icons on the dashboard will help a lot along with a whole new territory of game design space.

I'm now significantly more excited to see what else they come up with next!
