About the game
The village chief has disappeared. Panic! The tribe needs a new head, but this time, as long as it's done it must be smart (it will change as the other would say) in order to evolve the whole human species (just that)! And this smart head is yours, of course! Except that others think so too, it feels like a fight in the Kroms. The goal in Krom is to collect diverse and varied resources (bone, wood, stone, Krom, life ...) in order to be able to exchange them for Evolutions cards (which represents your smart head), but not any evolutions, we're talking here about inventing the Cine-Magnon or the Stupid-mouth. Each evolution card give you more or less victory point, depending on the level of "ingenuity" of the invention in order to end the game. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Krom: Evolution supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Krom: Evolution is 30–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Krom: Evolution for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Krom: Evolution has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
