Why you'll like it

How it plays

Forest Shuffle is a card game about building a forest. Players play tree cards, then attach animals, plants and insects to the four sides of each tree.

Each card has a cost and gives points or abilities depending on what else is in your forest. When the third winter card comes out of the deck, the game ends and the player with the most valuable forest wins. It's a quick, approachable engine-building game with lots of combos.
