This is definitely one of the most intuitive and educational games I've ever played in my life. It's very unique and I can see why some professional gamers don't like it. It's not like the other games where everything is laid out and you just follow what they say.
Not only that your clan needs to learn how to do basically everything on its own, you also need to do the same. It follows how things happened naturally, our ancestors didn't know how to do anything nor noone told them anything either other than their previous generation. So your 1st generation will have a little tough time learning new things but once you advance the generation and pass the genes, things get easier just like how it happens naturally. While learning new traits, random genetic mutations will occur,which randomly passes to some of the kids. As you advance to next generation, the genetic mutation will be permanent and their future family trees will have the gene. This is brilliant because the game pinpointed a lot of basics about evolution!
