[PW] Evolution Card Game?

[Luke Owens]

Thank you, Gillian. We've pretty much narrowed it down to Quirks.

The same people who made the game "Cosmic Encounter" had a game (name
unremembered by me) that involved building a lifeform that would survive by
getting different sections of the body (I.e. Roots, stem and leaves if you
were trying to build a plant) that would all work together. I can picture it
 but I can't quite remember how it was played. 
 
Cosmic Encounter has gone through various publishers, so I'm not sure if the
game I remember was made by Eon Games, West End Games, or Mayfair (who were
the last distributors as far as I know). I suspect Eon or just possibly WEG,
from my memories of when I played the evolutionary game. 
 
Hope this helps! 
 
Gillian

Unfortunately, no. That's one of the three I found on line when my friend 
Asked me. None of them were the one he remembers. Thank you for helping, 
Though, Deb!
