Nature (2025)

Nature is the next-generation strategy game built upon the award-winning blockbuster Evolution. It’s redesigned to be more streamlined, more forgiving, and ultimately deeper, with seamless expandability at its core. 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: Your goal is to grow thriving populations in a dynamic ecosystem where food is scarce and predators lurk. Evolve traits like Tusks for foraging, Fast for escaping danger, or Claws for hunting. Modular Game System: The core game of Nature is an accessible gateway into a world of dynamic ecosystems. Add the Jurassic module for colossal dinosaurs, or the Arctic Tundra module to experience life on the edge of the habitable world. The 5 modules and 2 mini-modules that currently exist can be combined to create 96 different ecosystems. How to Play: Nature is a card-driven tableau-builder played over 4 rounds. Each round is split between the Adapting Phase and the Feeding Phase. During the Adapting Phase, you will draw 5 cards that can be used to: Increase Population, Increase Size, or enhance your species as a Trait. During the Feeding Phase, you will feed as many of your population as possible. The winner will be the player that keeps the most population alive over the 4 rounds.
