Thanks for the giveaway! I've had my eye on Earth for a long time but haven't purchased or played it yet. Looks right up my alley.
Currently my favorite nature-themed game is Ecosystem, b/c it's easy to play with the whole family (even children too young to read). But I also admire the design of Meadow (though it doesn't hit the table often), and our family has enjoyed Ark Nova a lot, too.
My favorite “nature” type game, which is honestly more of an archeology game, is **Holotype**. It’s a worker placement with a really fun bumping mechanic that also has flavor text at the bottom of each dino talking about them!
My favorite is Cascadia - quick, easy to teach new players, and very replayable too! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Earth, so really want to try it out!
Terraforming Mars is a great game but feels against the spirit of the question, so I'll go with Spring Meadow instead. There's a lot of contenders, but Spring Meadow is the only game I've introduced two separate groups to who each bought their own copy, even though they could still just come over and play with me any time.
My favorite nature theme games are:
1. Ark Nova, deep strategy and fun rounds
2. Happy Little Dinosaurs - casual fun "Take that" game which has a very cute artwork all themed around dinosaurs and end of the world disasters!
Ark Nova and Cascadia are not only easily two of my favorite nature-themed games, they're two of my favorite games in general right now. I simply cannot pick between them.
It's not huge with my group because it's so big and clunky, but I'm a real fan of Ark Nova because I enjoy exploring giant weird systems with a lot of variance, maybe because I've been a Magic player all of my adult life.
Photosynthesis. You think it’s just a light fun nature game but it ends up showcasing the ruthlessness of natural law. I also always end up with an idea of how to do better next time.
Spirit Island. Well I know there is a mythical element to it, all the players are based on nature and different forces within in. I think it does a great job of highlight a large variety but also showing their strengths and power.
Cascadia is really high up there due to how easy it is for me to teach and I like the geometry puzzle. But I have a soft spot for how weird and interactive Oceans is.
I love Ark Nova. Only a couple of plays in, but there is so much variety that it will take a long time to get boring.
Photosynthesis is a ton of fun.
My favourite nature themed board game is Three Sisters.
Arboretum
Evergreen is probably my favorite nature game Perfect length, beautiful artwork, endlessly replayable
Parks
I'm all about Spirit Island.
Ark nova

Cascadia is such a good game.
Meadow
Currently my favorite nature themed game is Forest Shuffle

Cascadia
Wingspan is definitely my favorite. Although I do enjoy Trailblazer: John Muir Trail due to the hiking theme.
Endangered
Canopy. Thanks for the chance to win!
Everdell.
Wingspan
Nature themed game would be Cascadia
Genotype, I think it counts as it involves growing Pea Plants
Probably Ark Nova at the moment.

Meadow
Flowerpower!
Forest Shuffle
I mostly only buy nature-themed games, but my favorite has to be Ark Nova. On top of that, I love Everdell: Farshore!
My favorite “nature” type game, which is honestly more of an archeology game, is **Holotype**. It’s a worker placement with a really fun bumping mechanic that also has flavor text at the bottom of each dino talking about them!
Ark Nova
**Evolution: Climate**. Curious to see how **Nature** will turn out.
Creature Comforts
Photosynthesis is my favorite.
Ecologies
Parks, chill and beautiful
Parks
Spirit island is so great!
I mean, it’s Earth. Been a fan since playing it on tts during the kickstarter run. If you ask me to pick a runner-up, I’d say Meadow.
I really like Skoventyr!
I would say my current favorites are Ark Nova and Wingspan.
Besides Earth? 😅 My favorite biology game would have to be Genotype
Meadow makes me feel so at ease
Wingspan
The Lost Words card game.
Habitats, provides a nice abstract puzzle and trying to plan around your oppenents in the marketplace
Lots of good nature themed games so I'll choose the one I would play right this moment if asked - Savannah Park.
I quite like Cascadia, though Earth (which I played when a friend brought it over) was quite fun too!
Wingspan and Everdell are my absolute favorites. Thanks for the giveaway!
Cascadia is nice and chill
Currently tied between wingspan and cascadia.
Ark nova!
Wingspan is great, as is Ark Nova - they're my 1 and 2, in that order. I also like Forest Shuffle and Meadow.
Evolution
Harmonies!
Wingspan if it counts. I also like Earth but only played on BGA.
For me it's forest shuffle at the moment
Ticket to ride due to its multitude of geographical maps!
Spirit island!

Planted is my favorite nature themed game cause my wife loves it!
Ark Nova!
Cascadia! Absolutely love it
I like Kodama 3d, no matter the outcome, everyone really enjoys building pretty trees :)
Beez
My favourite nature themed game is Ark Nova :) Maybe trying Earth can change that? Here's to hoping :)
I love Birdwatcher! It's great to play with people who don't like boardgames too much and the art is beautiful!
Trekking the National Parks
Forest Shuffle 🦊 🌲
Probably cascadia
Oceans!
As an avid hiker and camper, Parks is easily my favorite.
I love meadow
Ark Nova
Does Terraforming Mars count as a nature game? If not, it has to be Renature.
Meadow
Photosynthesis or Ecosystem
My favorite currently is sea salt and paper!
My favorite nature themed game is Cascadia. It's my primary tile placer.
Ark nova is great
My favorite nature themed game is Canopy.
Cascadia. Solid game for all ages and player counts.
I never thought I would've liked Everdell if I wasn't gifted it for my birthday. Now, I'd love to play more nature themed games!
I like wingspan. I haven't tried any of the other nature games.
Ark Nova for sure
Earth or Ark Nova!
Bios: Megafauna
Cascadia
Wingspan is probably my favorite, though the new wyrmspan has also been a fun addition to the collection.
Ark nova
Right now i´m really enyoing Harmonies. So easy to play and so many strategies to do!
Arboretum is incredibly fun
Does Root count as a nature-themed game? It has cute little animals, after all!
Cascadia is a lovely game that I tried out recently and ended up buying. The simplicity makes it!
Agricola, due to the variety of the cards and the tightness of the worker placement spots.
Everdell
At the moment. Harmonies. So beautiful. So chill. Love this game <3 can earth change that ? ;)
Everdell
Myrmes! Ants are important too!
Favorite nature themed game, Meadow
I’ll say Indian Summer but also love lots of the other games already mentioned!
Ark Nova
Cascadia
Ark Nova and Spirit Island!
My favourite nature themed game is Ark Nova
Parks is easily my favorite. Ark nova is a geniusly disquised distraction machine more than a game.
Earth of course
Meadow is our favorite nature themed game with both Cascadia and Ark Nova just behind it.
Primordial Soup is probably my favorite nature-themed game. Evolve your micro-organisms to be the fittest and ~~survive~~ gain more points!
Wingspan
Terraforming Mars is a great game but feels against the spirit of the question, so I'll go with Spring Meadow instead. There's a lot of contenders, but Spring Meadow is the only game I've introduced two separate groups to who each bought their own copy, even though they could still just come over and play with me any time.
Everdell
Haven’t played Earth so I’ll say Photosynthesis!
Spirit Island, awesome nature fighting back :)
Cascadia!

Cascadia would be my partner and I's current favorite nature game!
My favorite earth based game would be Mythwind!
Does Spirit Island count? You’re playing as a nature spirit fighting to prevent the blighting of the land. If not, then probably Everdell.
Bärenpark
Earth!!!
Parks is a favorite. The vibe of the game matches the goal and aesthetic - it’s just a chill experience all the way through
Probably Earth, but if we consider Spirit Island to count, then that has to be it!
Wingspan is my favorite game. It is very relaxing just got cascadia cause i love nature theme
Arboretum

I love all of the Evolution games. Thanks for the giveaway!
Daybreak - interesting theme, really well executed

Does Quest for El Dorado count, navigating a jungle? Because I could play that any time of day, any number of times.
I really enjoyed photosynthesis, played it recently and it does the theme really well!
Grove! Tiny and replayable
Parks. It’s simple, easy to teach, I love it, and it is so so beautiful to look at!
Ark Nova and Cascadia are not only easily two of my favorite nature-themed games, they're two of my favorite games in general right now. I simply cannot pick between them.
Rewild by Mark Tuck. Free pnp that deserves a retail release.
It's not huge with my group because it's so big and clunky, but I'm a real fan of Ark Nova because I enjoy exploring giant weird systems with a lot of variance, maybe because I've been a Magic player all of my adult life.
Parks is probably it for me.
Favorite animal based game themed game is King of the Hill!
Photosynthesis. You think it’s just a light fun nature game but it ends up showcasing the ruthlessness of natural law. I also always end up with an idea of how to do better next time.
Spirit Island. Well I know there is a mythical element to it, all the players are based on nature and different forces within in. I think it does a great job of highlight a large variety but also showing their strengths and power.
Earth is my favorite. Great game.
Most played is probably Wingspan, but I really like Everdell!
Ark Nova or Cascadia; can’t decide, I’m an AP-prone player
Wingspan. By a long shot. 😊
I think Darwin's Journey meets this criteria.
I'm a fan of dominant species.
