Yeah. There isn’t much demand for that game to actually be ported irl.

How difficult is Tridimensional, or 3D chess? I always wanted to play it since seeing it on ST: TNG.

It certainly requires a fair bit of knowledge about regular chess and piece movements (talking about 3d chess)…
Me, who have the kickstart version of the remastered board game “Nature”, the remastered version of the board game (include the digital kickstart adicine):

How does “Nature” play out?

In general - the same, only with a few small changes:
First - every turn you get species instead of paying cards for it, so even if you lose all the species to predators, you still have a chance in the next round.
Second, the flight mechanics are even more interesting with the expansion where you can send your species if it flies to migrate and if there is food there, it is also protected from predators, but they cannot be larger than 4 sizes.
Third and most importantly - the theme is slightly different and focuses on the evolution of real creatures - you can see this in the art, but it is actually quite the same in the sense that you know.
Feel free to take a look here - in the unupdated version of the game rules:

Seems like a bunch of nice additions. Through why was the name changed, I know not…

I think the reason is not only the changes in quality of life, but also the theme that the game focuses on.
The previous game focused on fantasy and the current game focuses on realism, so I assume that is the reason for the change, although changing some of the rules of the game is also a significant factor but the foundation is not touched - it is the same feeling.

How much more realistic does this version feel like over the original through?

I mean - they use real animal features to illustrate the cards instead of beliefs
That’s the only difference between the two games. The mechanics remain the same, although subtly borrowed from another game called “Oceans” - the same concept from the same company, just with the mechanics of days where there are different types of food in different types of bodies of water.

Did you happen to stumble upon any other interesting boardgames?
I have some:
Twisted Cryptids - A game where you play as a cryptid against other people for about 5 rounds divided into 4 parts (morning, noon, evening and night, each of which behaves differently) where your goal is to be the most powerful mystic (who believes in you without completely revealing your existence). They have 8 different cryptids to choose from, each with slightly different attributes, with personality mechanics that are randomly generated and change how you play the map.
War chess - A game that behaves like chess, but the board is hexagonal, and you have combat units that you can move to eliminate enemy units and capture strongholds.
Exploding Cats - A funny card game where you have to be the last one standing without exploding. You can trade your cards or do challenge cards with cats to win. I heard there’s an animated series coming out about this game.
Race - an old game that I really like - it’s a card game where you want to be the first to reach 1000 km, by placing a number on it, but the ‘friends’ can delay you from the goal by placing accident cards which can cancel if you have repair cards or if you have augments such as being an ambulance driver who can run a red light or a careful driver who is immune to police but cannot place 200 km cards, etc.
Dreams - A simple board game in which each player places a card with abstract artistic images. At first you choose a card you actually have and say the word that goes with your card. The others put down one card that can describe the card you chose (and no one sees) and then reveal the cards and everyone guesses which card is yours. Your goal is to have your card identified but not enough for everyone to find it. You and the one who guessed correctly get a point, but if the one who guessed a different card than yours, the one who put down that card also gets a point but not the one who guessed. If everyone guessed correctly, everyone except the one who said the word gets a point. The winner is the one who crosses the finish line first. (Something like 30 points)
