Now with larger text and tap targets.
Requires iOSย 15.2 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPodย touch.Nature is a digital board game that invites you into the untamed wilderness, where you must adapt to survive. From the designer of the award-winning Evolution series, Nature is designed to be faster, better balanced, and seamlessly expandable.
Adapt to Survive
Grow your creatures in a world where resources are limited and danger is never far away. Develop the Fast trait to outrun predators, add Nesting to boost your population growth, or play Tusked to root out food others can't. With traits that combine and synergize, you can find success with a variety of strategies.
Seamlessly Expandable
Thanks to Nature's modular game system, no two games are ever the same. Mix and match different modules, each introducing new rules and thematic twists to the ecosystem. Flight features soaring creatures and new ways to find food, Jurassic brings out colossal predators, and in the Arctic Tundra survival itself is always in question. Modules can even be combined to create new ecosystems with unique interactions.
Easy to Learn, Hard to Master
Nature has been refined through years of development and thousands of playtests to offer a game that's easy to learn yet deep in strategy. New players can jump right in with clear rules and intuitive gameplay, while experienced strategists will discover layers of tactical depth and challenge. The result is a well-balanced experience that keeps everyone coming back for more.

Solo Campaign: Play against smart digital opponents and take on custom challenges that tweak the rules in the Campaign.
Multiplayer Matchmaking: Get matched with others of a similar skill level in cross platform multiplayer.
Play with friends your way: Challenge friends in real time or asynchronous games, or use pass and play for up to four players on the same device.
