Creating a Timeline of Social Board Games: Primordial Soup

Primordial Soup is an interesting game from 1997. It is based off of the Primordial Soup theory that all life on earth formed from a single source or a 'soup' of carbon which was influenced by various chemicals to create life. Each player gets coloured pieces and the main goal of the game to evolve the player's starting amoeba  Players take phases to turns. The first is to feed the amoeba by moving it in the direction with the current direction card, by the number of spaces printed on the amoeba. After moving the eats one of the coloured cubes not of the same colour as the player then must add two cubes of the players colour as excretion. over turns, players evolve by creating new genes or creating mutating old ones. The goal of the players is to be the longest to survive.
