Nature is a strategy board game that stands on the shoulders of the award-winning blockbuster Evolution. It's been completely redesigned from the ground up to make it more streamlined, more forgiving, deeper, and easily expandable. The innovation of Nature is a modular game system that allows players to create and explore a unique ecosystem each time they play. There is no limit to the number of modules that can be added. You can play Nature on its own, or combine modules to create over 20 unique ecosystems.
The goal of Nature is to adapt your species in an ever-changing ecosystem where food is scarce and predators lurk. You will receive points for growing and sustaining the population of your species amidst two threats: starvation and predation. Adapt your species with traits like Fast to evade predators, Nesting to grow your population, or Climbing to reach fruit high in the canopy.
A game of Nature takes 4 rounds, or 5 when you play with modules. Each round, players gain a new species and draw a hand of cards, bringing new life and opportunity into the ecosystem. Rounds have 2 main phases: Adapting and Feeding. At the end of each round, players will score 1 point for the population of each species they kept alive. The player that keeps the most population alive over the entire game will be the winner.
Evolution: Climate is a standalone game that introduces climate into the Evolution game system. In Evolution: Climate, players adapt their species in a dynamic ecosystem where food is scarce, predators lurk, and the climate can swing between scorching hot and icy cold. Traits like a Hard Shell and Horns can protect your species from Carnivores while a Long Neck will help them get food that others cannot reach. Heavy Fur and Migratory can protect your species from the cold while being Nocturnal or Burrowing will provide protection from the cruel desert sun. With over 200,000 ways to evolve your species, every game evolves into a different adventure.
Flight is a module that can be added to the Nature board game.
Find freedom by soaring to the skies, where safety and abundance await those gifted with wings. For players who prefer to avoid conflict.
The Flight Module introduces brand new trait cards and mechanics into the Nature ecosystem. Protect yourself from predators by 'Flocking' with other birds, become 'Camouflaged' to hide in your environment, or migrate to a faraway land and grow your population in safety.
Add or combine modules with Nature to enjoy more ecosystems and endless replayability.
