Rapid Board Game Review of #NatureFlight! @northstargames.bsky.social

It has begun. Best Week. The only year-end list that matters. And for the first day of Best Week 2025, we're celebrating the board games that transported us to new places, showed us wondrous sights, or used their visuals to illuminate a topic. Read here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/26/b...

Tenth family game for Christmas is Nature by @dcrapuchettes.bsky.social @northstargames.bsky.social , which I received as a gift. @arctick9.bsky.social and went after each other with hunters while @kbowenwriter.bsky.social scavenged and foraged her way to a narrow victory.

Nature is a strategy card game of survival. The concept is simple: each player manages a set of animals competing for limited food around a pond. wp.me/p70tPw-r0V @northstargames.bsky.social #Steam #boardgames #digitaltabletop

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar, this bright male Northern Cardinal! This was from this year's Waymakers event - seems like a lot of folks miss the first few birds posted each year so I'm glad to share them again. ;) 🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

I’m working on two games that I’m excited about. They’re both explorations into deck building; trying to make them more accessible without losing the depth. This is the first prototype from early 2020. You’ll notice very few words on the cards. There are less now!

How about a disaster? Nature Natural Disasters expands the base game of Nature and builds in a fun story element to drive the “evolution” of the game. It’s solid fun! Check out our review here: youtu.be/s1KPACeMZ4g @northstargames.bsky.social

The Mechanics went to Gen Con! We interviewed a lot of fun people. We talk to many wonderful creators on the floor of Gen Con about their stuff! We had a great time #gencon. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4d6X...

How it started. How it finished. (First day vs the last day at lunch time) Thanks to everyone who joined us at GenCon this year. It was an amazing sell-out show for Nature!

GenCon in one picture!

Wonderful to see our new board game Nature among such great company!

I’m at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) @hps-aaas.bsky.social helping facilitate game design about water policy. People are now in groups and working on their game. It’s going really well!

We always appreciate the depth and thought that goes into Dan's reviews. If you're curious about the Nature game system as a whole, from someone who has played both core game and modules, this is well worth reading.

Happy Board Games Anonymous! 1. I learn Nature on Steam from @northstargames.bsky.social 2. Cosmic Beet unboxes and consolidates deluxe upgrades to recent @allplay.bsky.social Kickstarter games 3-4. Hogan Long unboxes Sky Totems 1/2

Curious which games to check out at GenCon? ThinkerThemer have a great list (psst including Nature). www.youtube.com/watch?v=z58Q...
