I don´t believe that Walmart has the game, perhaps ToysRus on line, but I
have my doubts, this does not seem to be a child´s game. The problem with
Evolver is: There is not a 'help text', so if you don´t know how to play
it, don´t try the program, or you are not going to be able to know what´s
going on, even with all the players managed by the AI. But the rules are
easely available in many sites. In boardgamegeek there are a few files for
download with detailed rules in English, butI consider it would be  better
learn with the board game in hand, there are several special buildings
(tiles, in the game), I´m not sure, but there are around 12-14 in the
game, and many actions depend on the buildings 'powers'. Once initiated,
 a typical game flows with naturality and actions are very intuitive, so
the main effort for learning it is in the first 20-30 minutes, enough for
assimilate the rules. Yesterday, I played the game my first time; today, I
tried Evolver. I was brutally demolished by the program the first times,
but I believe I have learned a bit more after 5 games: the gap is being
reduced after each game I play against it, playing moderately fast games
of around 30 minutes each. Draws?: very rare in this game.
