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!
Number of players: 2 - 4
Game duration: 22 mn

- Increase Population
- Increase Body Size
- Play as a Trait to power up your species
