About the game
Jurassic is a module that can be added to the core game Nature to alter the experience. This module is for players who enjoy feeling invincible. Size is Power! It is a blessing to be big and powerful: to walk through life without looking over your shoulder, to act with impunity, untouched by the fears and anxieties others must endure. The Jurassic era reveals two distinct realities: one where ferocious predators and colossal dinosaurs battle for dominance, and another where the meek flourish in the hidden crevices, overlooked by the mighty. Jurrasic adds a separate deck to the base game with 5 new traits, a Thagomizer die, and Jurassic size dials that increase the maximum body size from 4 to 10. The Nature Game System Nature allows you to combine modules to tailor the game for the players at the table. Add Nature: Jurassic for a more aggressive game, Nature: Flight for people who prefer to avoid conflict, or Nature: Arctic Tundra for a challenging survival game on the edge of the habitable world. TWith 6 modules and 4 mini-modules, there are over 700 unique ecosystems to explore! Nature Digital: Learn to play with an interactive tutorial on the free-to-try Nature app (iOS, Android, and Steam). https://www.naturedigitalgame.com/ A Living Game System: NorthStar Studio will release the Climate module in 2026, followed by one to two new modules per year for the next decade.

Questions and answers
Nature: Jurassic supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Nature: Jurassic is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Nature: Jurassic for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Nature: Jurassic has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Nature: Jurassic belongs to these categories: Card Game, Animals, and Educational. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Variable Set-up, and Simulation. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Nature: Jurassic are: Dominic Crapuchettes. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Nature: Jurassic as an expansion for Nature. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Nature to use it. Check that your edition of Nature is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
