FOREST SHUFFLE | A Hand-Management, Set Collection Card Game (Overview)

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.

I loooove Forest Shuffle. Since it came out on BGA, I almost always have a game going.

You said the magic words. I was already looking at this one but you saying it feels like Ethnos is pretty much a guarantee I'll love it.

Forest shuffle is one of my top games of 2023. It’s fast and easy to play with lots of different strategies to win. With experienced players we are constantly being surprised about new combinations to score. And it has an expansion coming in the next couple weeks. It’s a must buy.

Yes to the expansion!!!
