About the game
What you do in a play session
Nature: Jurassic is an expansion module that slots into the core game Nature, bringing the age of prehistoric giants to the tabletop. It adds a dedicated deck with five new traits—such as Alpha Predator, Evasive, and the dreaded spiked tail Thagomizer—and a special die, expanding strategic options and raising the maximum body size from 4 to 10 with larger size discs. The game gains a fifth round, letting the biggest creatures unleash their power before the cycle ends. Chaining and hand management mechanics give players control over action sequences and card selection, while progressive turn order and variable set‑up ensure each session feels fresh. A fully integrated solo mode provides a solid challenge for solo enthusiasts. As part of Nature's modular system, Jurassic can be mixed with other modules—Flight, Arctic Tundra, Climate, and mini‑modules—to create up to 96 different ecosystems, and with the 2026 releases, over 700 combinations will be possible. The game is light in weight (1.7/5) and runs about 60 minutes, suitable for 1‑4 players who love prehistoric themes, ecosystem‑building strategies, and the feeling of being a colossal dinosaur.
