Just played my first game on BGA, really liked it and it went suprisingly well! Got the hang of it and I really like the card stacking and combos you can make. Only downsides I can see are playing in person: 1. The game must take up a ton of space with all the cards stacked in your tableau? My game I had 14 trees! And 2. I was thinking the scoring must be a bugbear in this as you're scoring every card and lots of them score for many other cards- I just scored over 300 to win which was great but I can't imagine it's much fun scoring is it!? I love the theme and strategy though so maybe those downsides are worth it?

Omg I love this theme and all the colors/art in this one! 🌳 those multi use cards would’ve changed my mind too!! 🤣 Thanks so much for a fun review friends! You make this one sound so fun-the balancing act of hand cards + timing make it sounds like there’s way more going on than initially expected in this one 🎉

I think we would for the easy set up. Meadows competes with too many heavier games for us so doesn't get much table time. Time will tell but this is more accessible.

Phantastic looking game! This will be an instant buy - when it hits the shops here. Amy how is half a deck of reference cards "greener" than a single small sheet of paper/player?? (I would have to also use more sleeves, which I am fine with!) On this question - the main problems do NOT lie with the game producers at all! Thanks for the great review.

The comment about the cave not being mentioned in the rules: Technically not by name in gameplay, but it is in the setup and the endgame scoring. The Brown Bear and Raccoon explanation in the appendix says how cards get there. But yes, it should really have had a separate 'Cave' section in the rules or appendix. Great video though. I'm playing this on BGA at the moment, and have already preordered a physical copy from my flgs.
@MK991127 ай бұрын
Would a scoring track benefit this game? Seems crazy ending and then having to calculate 300+ points. Hope they fix some of the little issues with this one with an expansion or 2nd edition.

Hi. How do you compare forest shuffle with Innovation? Eric Martin compared them and Innovation is my #1 game.
@ThinkerThemer Жыл бұрын
We've heard this comparison before and it's a confusing one for us. Aside from the cards being multi-use and the splaying (kind of if you look at the card tuck that way) it feels very different. There's no messing with other people's forests and no race element. We love both games but very different game feeling. Innovation is more interactive and tense. Forest is relaxing and focused on scoring combos for the end game. Hope that helps!
