Nature

Nature is a redesign of 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. 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. 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.

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.
