Amazing game. Fun to stratigize and plan out what you want to focus on. Pretty easy to comprehend. Read the rule book and as soon as we started playing we knew the game and didnt have to refer back to the rule book. Played with my 8 year old and we both had so much fun! 10/10 recommend!

My 10 year old loves this game. Quick and easy to learn. Love the variety in the game. It’s a different game each time we play

Such a fun game. We love both art quality and the gameplay itself.

Great game. Simple but very engaging. You always feel like you're about to score big.

Absolutely love it! Probably my favorite game ever! I have Cascadia, Ark Nova, Hogwart's Battle, Wingspan, and many, many more games. I love this because of speed quick set up and extremely fun game okay! So much variety of strategies of you get the two expansions as well! And they're fairly inexpensive, so easy to do.

This is a really fun and simple game. It is very easy to teach, play and enjoy. The cards have beautiful artwork and fun animal facts.If you like the board game "EARTH", then just imagine a smaller version of that game with a little more simple mechanics. You'll probably like this game.How it is played:Everyone starts with 6 cards. Some cards are trees and other cards are animals. On your turn you have 2 options, draw cards or play a card. If you draw cards you can take them from the top of the deck, the collective discard area "the clearing", or a combination thereof (hand limit of 10). If you decide to play a card, then you must pay its cost by discarding the required amount of other cards. You receive bonus actions if you discard cards that match certain symbols. At least one tree card must be played first because all animal cards are played underneath tree cards. After a tree card s played and any necessary other cards didcarded to pay its cost, then an additional card is revealed from the deck to the clearing as a way to ensure the game progresses. The clearing is cleared if there are ever 10+ cards in it at the end of a players turn.The animal cards are divided in half, either vertically or horizontally with one animal on each half. You then decide which half you are using and tuck it under the tree card accordingly with that side revealed. The placement of each card is quite thematic as well. For instance, birds and butterflies are played under the top part of tree, while frogs, hedgehogs, etc. are placed under the bottom and deer, bear, rabbits, etc. are placed under either side. Each animal card type has a different victory point condition that often requires the presence of another animal or tree.The game ends when the third "Winter" card is pulled from the deck. These winter cards are shuffled into the bottom 1/3 of the deck when the game begins, so you know about when it is coming but not exactly when all three will be revealed.This is a quick game with turns being played so quickly that you have little downtime. The replayability is quite large, because you literally have thousands of combinations when each animal card and tree type is considered.I have played multiple times now with 3 and 4 players, but not yet with 2. I think it will work well with all player counts, but your tablau (the cards played in front of you) is smaller with more players because the deck is exhausted faster... not a big deal, just different scoring totals and some card conditions (like those that require a certain number of unique animals or trees) are harder with more players.I do like this game a lot. I would much rather play EARTH, but when I don't have the time for a longer game or just want a good filler game, then this one is fantastic and fits the same genre and enjoyability.I think most people will enjoy this game. And, as I said earlier, if you like EARTH, then you'll probably like this game.

This game is fantastic. It’s thinky but quick. It’s dynamic at different player counts but always intriguing. At higher player counts you can expect to get into each others way a bit more but that’s not a downside to this game, it’s a feature! We love it!

Great addition to my board game collection. There are so many ways to build for points and combines both strategy and luck. It is a beautiful design. It can be hard to add cards to all 4 sides and does require a lot of space to build your sets. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and it is one of the top choices for game night now.
