Overview

Nature is a card-driven tableau-builder played over four rounds. You score points by feeding your species and keeping them alive.

Each round has four phases.

1. Preparation Phase

  • Add plant food to the watering hole based on the player count and the top card of the deck.
  • Gain a new species starting at size 1 and population 1. Add any population or size lost during the previous round to this new species.
  • Draw 5 cards. There is no hand limit.

2. Adapting Phase

Players take one turn to modify their species. You can perform these actions as many times as you want:

  • Increase Population: Discard a card to add 1 population to a species.
  • Increase Size: Discard a card to increase a species' size by 1 (maximum size is 4).
  • Play a Trait: Play a card face-down near a species to grant it an ability (maximum 3 traits per species, including Hunter).
  • Free Actions: Add a Hunter card from the supply to turn a species into a carnivore, remove existing traits, or save cards for later.
3. Feeding Phase

Players take turns feeding one hungry species at a time until all population is fed or dead

  • Forage: Foragers eat plants from the watering hole equal to their size.
  • Hunt: Hunters eat meat from the supply equal to their prey's size. A hunter's hunt value must be equal to or greater than the prey's defense value. The hunted species loses 1 population.
  • Starve: If a species cannot forage or hunt, it must starve and lose 1 population.
  • Free Action: Discard cards from your hand before a feeding action to add their food value in plants to the watering hole.
4. Scoring
  • At the end of each round, move all eaten food behind your screen.
  • After four rounds, you score 1 point for every food token eaten and 2 bonus points for each surviving species.
  • The player with the most points wins. If there's a tie, the player with the most cards played as Traits wins.
