Nature: Natural Disasters (2025)

Overview

Natural Disasters is a module that can be added to the core game Nature to alter the experience. This module is for players who thrive on chaos, uncertainty, and memorable stories.

Behold the Power of Mother Nature! Everyone wants to control their own destiny, but sometimes Mother Nature has other plans. She may darken the sky with a terrible hurricane, blow lava through the top of a mountain, or shake the earth to its core with a gigantic meteor! Natural disasters remind us of our insignificance — that no matter how hard we fight, some things will always remain outside our control.

Natural Disasters introduces beautiful oversized disaster cards and 10 comet tokens. At round's end, reveal a disaster that remains in play for 1–5 rounds. These scenario cards create new strategic puzzles each round for people who like to think on their feet.

The Nature Game System Nature allows you to combine modules to tailor the game for the players at the table. Add Natural Disasters to ramp up the chaos, Nature: Flight for people who prefer to avoid conflict, Nature: Amazon Rainforest for bluffing and deduction, or Nature: Arctic Tundra for a challenging survival game on the edge of the habitable world. With 6 modules and 4 mini-modules, there are over 700 unique ecosystems to explore!
