nature
Nature is a redesign of the blockbuster Evolution to be more streamlined, more forgiving, and seamlessly expandable. The secret sauce is a modular system that allows players to create and explore a unique ecosystem each time they play.
Adapt to the Changing Environment:
Grow thriving populations in an ecosystem where food is scarce and predators lurk. Evolve traits like Tusked for foraging, Fast for escaping danger, or Clawed for hunting.
Create a Unique Ecosystem Each Time You Play:
The core game of Nature is an accessible gateway into a world of dynamic ecosystems. Add the Jurassic module for a more aggressive game with colossal dinosaurs, or the Arctic Tundra module to experience life on the edge of the habitable world. There are currently 5 modules and 2 mini-modules that can be combined to create 96 different ecosystems. After the GenCon 2026 release of Climate module and 2 new mini-modules, there will be over 700 combinations to explore!

Rules summary
Nature is a card-driven tableau-builder played over four rounds. Each round is split between the Adapting Phase and the Feeding Phase.
Adapting Phase:
Use five cards as actions to do the following:
- Increase Population
- Increase Body Size
- Play as a Trait to power up your species
- Save to be used as food during the Feeding Phase
Feeding Phase:
Feed as many of your population as possible. At the end of the round, players get 1 point for each population they kept alive. The winner is the player who kept the most population alive over all four rounds
