You might ask, "Hey, shouldn't you have done another evolution game?" Let me tell you, in times of christian religious fundamentalism, this is an evolutionary game. You might want to use it in the class in externTennessee.
What was the design principle of this game? Well, to give Doris as many nice animals to draw as possible!

Noah is tearing out his beard and the time-pressure is difficult. Clouds are gathering and the rain could come anytime. The weather forecast is not good. Meanwhile, animals are gathering before the ark.
Now, a handful of people are offering to help, but they look like gamblers and game players!

The animals slowly drag along and nothing can be said to speed them up. Fortunately, the helpers manage to keep the animals from attacking each other. And, now someone has cleverly stored 2 loads of grain with the Tyranno. His reasoning was that there was room AND the animal would not eat it as it is a meat-eater!
