 Dominic Crapuchetts, one of the designers of Evolution, Evolution: Climate and one of the designers of Oceans adjacent to Evolution, had a laundry list of problems with the design of the successful series. Most of them, he found, could not be fixed. They were inherent in the system. The only solution was to start over. This is what he did. The result is Nature, a game that will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played Evolution. This is clearly Evolution 2.0, an attempt to make the game simpler, meaner and more flexible. The core idea of the gameplay remains the same: create and evolve species that eat more than anyone else. First, you get a new look. Isn't that cute? They always start out both physically small and numerically insignificant: size 1 and a corresponding population. This is your blank canvas. You use cards in your hand to increase size, population, or add traits. Features are the heart of the game, but they're best explained after you've experienced the game, so I'll circle back.  When everyone decided how to develop their species, it was time for the test. Each player, in turn, activates one species. Each species forages by default by finding food in the supply of vegetation tokens in the middle of the table. Larger species eat more food at once, while species with larger populations can hold more food. The dream, of course, is to have a large size and high density, but this may not be what the ecosystem can sustain. The amount of vegetation available each round depends on the drop of one card at the top of the setup. If you spot a 1, which means each player will add one token at the start of each round, brace yourself for a bumpy ride. Malnourished populations die out, so humans are more likely to turn to predators. Predators work a little differently and will be a favorite for aggressive players in your party. Instead of eating tokens from the central supply, carnivores attack other species. Here the value of size changes to attack and defense. A predator can attack only an animal of the same or smaller girth. They kill one population and take a number of food tokens equal to the size of the prey. Any suitable species on the table can be chosen, and the Predator must hunt if it can. Later in the game, this may mean that one of your predators has to go after another of your species. Comedy gold. We love to see that.  The major change since evolution, probably the key change in how nature is experienced as an experience, concerns death. In Evolution, your hunted and hungry populations are destroyed forever. It is easy for a player with an early advantage to dominate throughout the game. In Nature, you bring back a lost population. They join the new species you get at the start of the next round. The stronger your round, the stronger your next species will be able to come out of the swing. It's possible that an avid player can come back from the edge of the abyss in Nature, which is much more difficult to say about his older brother. Let's return to those features. Some increase your defensive ability, making it harder for animals to hunt you. Others improve your ability to forage or give you access to alternative food sources. The features are the area where it is most obvious that Nature is an improvement on the previous design. There were 17 different possible cards in the Evolution deck. Nature has eight. As much as brevity is the soul of wit, it is also the heart of good game design. Where evolution sometimes felt chaotic and unwieldy, nature makes you a much more intentional god. Even within the relatively narrow parameters of only eight signs, the variability of Nature is impressive. This is an extremely reactive game. When everyone is playing well, one player making a different choice has consequences that cause everyone else to deviate from their chosen course. I've played probably half a dozen sessions of the base game and none of them felt the same. And that's before we factor in modules. MODES Nature is a modular system that gives players more control over the type of experience they have. Five modules - Rainforest, Arctic Tundra, Natural Disasters, Flight and Dinosaurs - are part of the initial release, and each one adds a unique twist to the process.  The rainforest is bountiful, providing explosive population growth and unlimited food resources—at least for those species that can climb. Natural disasters for those who hate planning and love a bit of drama. Each round a new rule or instant effect is introduced, causing a variety of potential disasters. The flight module is probably my favorite. It has my favorite set of traits and introduces migration to the game which brings some pretty subtle points. Dinosaurs seem to be a favorite and I can see why. It's fun to have all these big, aggressive dinosaurs stomping around. The final production version of Nature will use dials instead of stacks of wooden tokens—an aesthetic loss that also arguably improves quality of life—but having an 8-token tall stack of Predators is a hoot. Each of these five spices not only tastes good on its own, they can be mixed. When playing with modules, players can draw cards at the top of the round from any combination of decks. If I need two dino cards, a basic card, and two flight cards, I can do that. Even cooler, it gives the other players some idea of what shenanigans I might have planned and can influence what decisions they make. As I understand it, there are plans to release two new modules per year for the foreseeable future. This should ensure that nature will have plenty of variety to keep you entertained. NATURAL SELECTION I've played Nature several times over the past three years in various stages of development. It was obvious from the first play that this was something special, and it only got better as time went on. My review copy is an early one, and many small adjustments have been made since it was even printed. Map effects have been changed. Some components are changed to make the game more user-friendly. But every time I sat down to play, I was left with the feeling that nature is an exciting and wonderful system. The most reliable indicator of the quality of Nature that I have is the reaction of players to it. Time after time, group after group, with all the variety of gaming tastes, I have yet to see a group finish a game without wanting to immediately dive back in, or try the same setup again, or test the waters on a different module combination. Nature is a whimsical thing...

 About two years ago, I was staring at a copy of Maracaibo (2019, Capstone Games) sitting on my shelf. The game looked back at me. "You keep looking at me like you love me, but we used to spend a lot more time together." "You're right," I said. “The problem isn't entirely yours, and I don't think the problem is mine either. The problem is, as much as I love you, you take time to set up, you take time to teach, and every time I have to explain how combat is fought and where the dice go on the map and how it all affects the ending - scoring mechanics in the game, I move on to another game. Besides, the whole thing usually takes two or three hours to play... I just think it's better to find another home for you.'' So I gave Maracaibo to a guy in my company. I got the Maracaibo app (which unfortunately still doesn't support playing against AI opponents outside of solo) and then basically stopped playing the game until it hit Board Game Arena a few months ago. Toward the end of my time at Gen Con 2024, I stopped by the Capstone booth to talk to the team about the show, and they offered up a copy of Pirates of Maracaibo, the standalone version of the game that won rave reviews at SPIEL last year. I was curious, so I accepted a copy and a few weeks later had it in front of my other junkie friends from Maracaibo. 15 minutes into the first game I breathed a sigh of relief. I'm back in Maracaibo like never before...because Pirates of Maracaibo is Maracaibo with all the card games I love in a package that plays in about an hour even with three players. Because it's so easy to set up and take down, Pirates of Maracaibo has a much higher chance of making it to the table than its big brother. They are a match made in heaven. If you liked the base game, buy Pirates of Maracaibo. And even if you didn't like Maracaibo the first time around, I think Pirates of Maracaibo is still worth checking out. THE SEA IS A CARD OCEAN Pirates of Maracaibo is a stand-alone exploration and treasure hunt game for 1-4 players, with many of the same table-building mechanics featured in the Maracaibo base game. You don't need a copy of Maracaibo to play Pirates of Maracaibo, but it's certainly easier to learn if you already know how to play the original. Although Maracaibo had quest mechanics and combat, I always thought of it as a card game. I liked choosing which cards to buy, I liked buying cards that allowed me to do special things in certain places, and I liked card tagging that allowed me to burn cards to leave items in certain places on the map. I've always been concerned about the structure of the base game, how players can speed up the end of rounds by running around the map and triggering the scoring at the end of the round, but at four rounds I always felt like I had a good chance of getting enough points to win. Pirates of Maracaibo seems to know exactly what I wanted most from the base game, and then deliver it in such a quick fashion. Pirates of Maracaibo is even more of a card game than the base game, thanks to the removal of the standardized game board and replacing it with… you guessed it, more cards. The Pirates of Maracaibo game contains a deck of cards divided into nine columns, 2-4 cards per column. Starting at the west end of this table, players control their pirate ship by moving 1-3 spaces (cards) east to perform actions. These cards range from Location cards, where players can improve the side of their ship and carry out raids or research activities, to Enhancement cards, which provide one-time actions or red flags that permanently improve abilities. As in the base game, upgrade cards cost doubloons, and this cost can be reduced by powering up other cards or upgrading your ship. Residence cards, just like in the base game, are also featured in Pirates of Maracaibo, now arranged as locations on the map that can be visited and replenished with player tokens to be claimed at the end of the game.  The maps are still great in Pirates of Maracaibo and it's very interesting to see how the map changes. This is because when a player buys an Enhancement, it moves to the new owner's personal table and is then replaced by a card from a better deck, so there's always a series of cards available for purchase, but the ways the options change add a nice decision-making dynamic. Location cards contain a variety of options, including the explorer mechanic from the base game. In the base game, I always felt like the Pathfinder mechanic took a focused effort to make it work, and I rarely saw the player who performed the best win the game. In Pirates of Maracaibo, the Explorer process is incorporated into the core gameplay in a way that is meaningful but doesn't require the player to direct most of their energy in that direction. The new game features a small Exploration board that looks the same as the original game, but now the loop is a circle where players move their Explorer meeples across rivers to get bonuses similar to those in the base game (points , coins, treasure, etc.). Some Location and Enhancement cards allow you to move multiple locations at once, thanks to enhancements obtained from other cards or aboard a ship. Pirates of Maracaibo has three areas that have received a major update: combat, quest cards, and ship upgrades. All three add to the action in Pirates of Maracaibo by streamlining processes that were difficult work in the original game, and all three areas proved to be meta improvements that dictated play in the base game, particularly aboard the ship. BURIED TREASURE Let's talk about the new shipboard for a moment. Remember the personal ship board from the base game? Players seemed to do the same upgrades in pretty much the same order every time they played: five coins, then one that increased the hand size from four cards to six, then maybe one that gave you three points so you could unlock the one that gives you six more points. And it always took two deliveries before you could get each update. The Pirates of Maracaibo know you don't like to wait. So there are two major changes aboard the ship. The first is that all location cards allow the player to upgrade their ship and get something immediately. Want three doubloons? Here you go. Another quest card? Here you go. The second change is that the ship upgrades are closed like in the first game, but the gates are lower. So, after your first two upgrades, you gain access to the juicier upgrade options in the second of three ship upgrade levels. One of my favorite options is to drop a quest card for eight doubloons. Another awards the player two points if they choose to move less than they could on the research map. Another update allows the player to buy the upper part of their ship. Major items new to Pirates of Maracaibo give players the choice of a slight asymmetry as they receive one-time or permanent powers that change the way the game is played. The shipboard in Pirates of Maracaibo blows the old version of the game out of the water. I'm not sure I can even play basic Maracaibo now that I've seen this new version. This is doping and it is not discussed. So the shipboard is the first and probably the best upgrade to the base game outside of general playtime.  The second update is combat. In Pirates of Maracaibo, the tiles that tell players how much additional combat power they have against each of the three factions (Spain, France, England) are gone. Now fighting is "raiding" and raiding is cake. Three cubes of three different colors fall out. Dice represent both grains of power that can be used to perform unique combat actions, and the scent of treasure that can be captured with enough power. Yellow cube - gold, green - emeralds, white - pearls. Roll the dice, then roll any number of those dice again if desired. Your combat strength is the number of points on one die plus any bonuses you've unlocked through cards and ship upgrades. The treasure corresponding to the selected cube (if the combat strength is at least five) is taken from the treasure island and placed on the player's "hidden board". A cute nod to every pirate story ever written: newly found treasure is placed on the beach of each treasure type column, but can later be "buried" in places below the beach line for extra endgame points. . (Being the nerd that I am, I made the players make a shovel sound every time they did the Bury the Treasures action.) Raiding is fun. Moreover, raiding is easy and very fast. The single roll option is ideal, and after that Pirates of Maracaibo has plenty of dice softening options for players who want to invest in this area. The treasure market is run by all players and shows the current value of each treasure, so scoring each type at the end of the game is pretty easy. The third update to the base game is the quest cards. Frankly, I hated the Maracaibo quest mechanic simply because it seemed like every time I wanted to stop at a quest location, the current quest would have two tags that I didn't have in hand. Worse, every now and then the quests would change and the opponent would hijack my ability to stop somewhere and use the tags I had in hand. It was hard to count on quests to succeed, and sometimes my career card choices would lead me into a game full of trying to make quests work. Mech Pirates of Maracaibo fixes this by allowing players to build a quest map from two of their choice during setup, and then very easily get more of them during gameplay. The quests are simple and, like the main game, multi-step, so the player can get three points for burying two pearl treasures, or more points for burying three. Great, I can go there right now. There are always two cards available in the quest card market, and players can always add more quests to the top deck if they don't like the offering. There is even a bonus of 10 points waiting..
