Nature Board Game User Reviews

Top reviews

A first rate implementation of a fantastic board game. Impressive!

Nature is quite simple for a modern board game, but it has layers of nuanced strategy that only become evident after several games. I’ve played and enjoyed the base game over 100 times on its own! I’ve also played individual modules another 100 times. Each of them provides a very different experience. Now I’m exploring different combinations of modules.

Overall, a great game with lots to explore.

Great game

Great game, refreshing update to the original Evolution game. New game mechanics take a bit of getting used to if you have been playing Evolution but the changes make it a bit more forgiving if you have make an early mistake.

So fun!

I loved evolution and I love nature too! You can tell a lot of love and thought went into this game. My only feedback is that I wish you could customize rules in local solo games like you can in the evolution digital version. Namely, choosing how many rounds you do and what cards to exclude. I’m hopeful this comes out in a future update

Great adaptation of a favorite board game

Nature is our favorite board game - customizability and flexibility to adapt strategy are key here. The digital version is working out a few bugs, but the developers are responsive and issues have been dealt with quickly. Looking forward to the rainforest expansion!

Amazing game

Easy to learn. Fun to play. Nice graphics.

So many ways to play!

This is such a great adaptation of the board game, and a perfect evolution of the game, Evolution!
I just tried Flight with Amazon and Jurassic, and wow! Once you understand the base game, the layers each module adds just makes this game the bees knees!

Great customer support

Thanks for fixing my issue you all rock

Polished game based on Evolution

I really liked Evolution from the first time I played it. Climate was awesome and really got you thinking about evolving your species to compete for food, protect it from predators and now the climate. It felt like I was playing while learning about ecosystems. But it had flaws. Nature is the evolution of that (no pun intended). The game feels polished and the modules integrate well with each other. However that is its weakness. Without the modules it feels shallow and you’ll outgrow it fast. The plus of that is that you don’t always have to play with a certain module. You can customize your gaming session to whatever style and challenge you feel up to.

Fun to play together

My son and I started when he was 8 and it was easy to learn. While not “educational” on its own, we do discuss how features that help a species in the game have real examples in the real Natural world.

A natural evolution of Evolution

At first I preferred Evolution over Nature. I struggled with the new mechanics. But after going through a few games in the base campaign I started to get hooked. I just finished all the module campaigns and all I can think is I want more. I tried going back to Evolution and it kind of felt incomplete. No matter how hard I tried to do a different strategy I would always go back to my normal gameplay. With Nature, every module pulls me to try new strategies.

Great game

Love this game, its many expansions, and replayability. Always happy to show it to new players and spread the word. Keep up the good works.

Great improvement over Evolution

I love Evolution and hesitated to download this new version because I thought it was just a money grab. I finally downloaded the free version and immediately bought the game after working through the tutorial. It’s a great improvement on the old game and definitely worth $5.

Belle évolution vers Nature

Depuis 10 ans la mécanique de ce jeu s’améliore tout en restant facile à expliquer. Il y a de la profondeur et stratégie en mélangeant les modules. Les illustrations sont superbes.
Bref du plaisir

Amazing game with great artwork

I absolutely love this game! The artwork is amazing and the game play is easy to understand. The modular game play is amazing to be able to pick and choose expansions.

Very well done board game!

I finally have time to dive into this game and I’m loving it. This game is an “evolution” of Evolution, and it’s better in every way. The campaigns are fun, the ability to mix different modules changes up the strategy, and the AI has different levels, which is good because I’m not that great at this game yet. Very finely tuned game and it’s obvious it went through a lot of playtesting before release. Keep the modules coming!

Interesting game

Great game that is never static, beautiful artwork.

This game is awesome!

It’s super modular and I very much enjoy it. That being said, I definitely prefer the physical game over the digital one!

Tolles Brettspiel

Sehr schönes Brettspiel. Die einzelnen Erweiterungen sind gut erklärt. Manche Challenges sind mir jedoch etwas zu glücksbasiert bzw. bieten zu wenig Abwechslung, ansonsten wären es 5 Sterne.

A fun strategy game

We joined the kickstarter to try the game early. I mostly play with my elementary aged son, in person, passing an iPad between the 2 of us as we play. I love the artwork and he loves science and evolution, so it’s fun for both of us. Being a digital format makes it easier to travel with and play in the car or on planes. It’s also easier to learn as the game automatically tracks all the metrics and rules for your species, which seem like it could be a lot to juggle in a traditional board game. We recently tried the natural disaster pack and loved the extra challenge that it creates in slightly changing the rules each round. It forces you to keep thinking because your go-to strategy can suddenly fail you :)

Love it!!

I have loved this game! I’ve been a big fan of northstar games since evolution and oceans, and love the beautiful artwork and environments they put in all their games!
