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. To emphasize the cohesiveness of the modular system, Nature was first released with this Big Box edition on Kickstarter. Nature Big Box contains the first 5 modules and a mini-module.

Adapt to the Changing Environment:
The goal of Nature is to grow thriving populations in an ecosystem where food is scarce and predators lurk. Evolve traits like Fast for escaping danger, Climbing to reach fruit high in the canopy, or Pack Hunting for bringing down large prey.

Create a Unique Ecosystem Each Time You Play:
The core game of Nature is an accessible gateway into a world of dynamic ecosystems. Each game can be tailored to the tastes of the people at the table. Add the Flight module for players who prefer to avoid conflict, the Jurassic module for a more aggressive game, or the Arctic Tundra module for a challenging survival game at the edge of the habitable world. There are 5 modules and 2 mini-modules that can be combined to create 96 different ecosystems. After the 2026 releases of the Climate module and 2 mini-modules, there will be over 700 combinations to explore!

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.

Adapting Phase: Use 5 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 that kept the most population alive over all 4 rounds (or 5 rounds when playing with 1 or more modules).
