Forest Shuffle: Alpine Card Game

In Forest Shuffle, players compete to gather the most valuable trees, then attract species to these trees, thus creating an ecologically balanced habitat for flora and fauna.

To start, each player has six cards in hand, with cards depicting either a particular type of tree or two forest dwellers (animal, plant, mushroom, etc.), with these latter cards being divided in half, whether vertically or horizontally, with one dweller in each card half.

On a turn, either draw two cards - whether face down from the deck or face up from the clearing - and add them to your hand, or play a card from your hand by paying the cost, then putting it into play.

During set-up, three winter cards were placed into the bottom third of the deck. When the third winter card is drawn, the game ends immediately, then players tally their points based on the trees and dwellers in their forest. Whoever scores the most points wins.

Forest Shuffle is the first in a line of Lookout games sporting the Lookout Greenline label, produced on FSC certified paper and avoiding plastic completely.

Will you manage to lure the most valuable species into your forest? Because the following also applies above the tree line: depending on the number of players, cards are removed from the game before it begins.

The first expansion of the tactical card game about the animals and the forest by designer Kosch scores with a deck of 36 new multifunctional cards, including two new tree species. Some of the cards bring a nice twist to the rules of the base game.
