Sequoia Review: Get Spruced up Fir a Good Pine

[@salmonblox]

I’m glad you guys enjoyed this one; for me, both Sequoia and GPS were interesting game concepts undermined by production issues. For GPS, that spinner just doesn’t work, and for Sequoia, I found the dice annoying to work with; they’re tiny, they blend into the backgrounds of the cards, making it hard to see majorities, and you’re supposed to keep them secret despite having no screen or cups provided. Mountain Goats is the clear winner of that batch for me! and I use Dandelions and Chomp to complete the “minute to learn” trilogy

That title broke me.

Great, quick, game. The simultanous play is nice. Bought the expansion. One complaint is the green pieces blend in with game boards making them difficult to see. Thicker game pieces would be nice.

Question: do the player tokens blend in with the background? Or are they easy to see on the numbered cards?

[@Ehurst01]

Sometimes they're difficult to see. We usually have ours hang over the edge of the card a bit. It's no so much the color but the pattern. There are circles on the cards that blend in. Green is a bit of a challenge on some cards.

@@Ehurst01 ... thanks! It looked like that would be the case! To bad they didn't do it a little different.

[@Ehurst01]

@@walkredroad It looks like it would be worse in the video (on my phone at least). The colors aren't quite as saturated as the look on screen. It's a thing but I still really like the game. It's a fun to play with the kids or out to eat.

Who ever came up with that title is no longer a young sapling but a great methuselah.

Lets try that again. "Great Basin Bristlecone Pine"
