Lookout Spiele | Forest Shuffle | Family Card Game | Ages 10+ | 2-5 Players | 60 Minutes Playing Time

This is a great tabletop game based around buying the best cards to maximise the score of your personal forest. Each card represents a plant or animal, with a cost in cards (zero for some animals), a bonus - sometimes dependent on which cards you 'pay' to put it in your forest - and a victory point value, which is dependent on card combinations and/or the presence of other cards in your forest. The foundation of your forest is of course based on the different trees that you plant, because these are necessary before you can purchase any other animals or plants to add to the top, bottom and sides of each tree. The interplay between the different cards makes the game quite intensive and, as a result, an hour of playing can pass very quickly. The cards are high quality and the artwork is really good. Strategy is everything though it's not a particularly difficult game to master. The rulebook is a more like a slim leaflet than anything else, because all the information is provided on the cards (once you get used to the different symbols). To be honest, I've only tried Forest Shuffle as a 2-player game and it seems to work very well, so I'm keen to try it out with more players.

A really cool game with very nice illustrations of the flora & fauna of the local forest. It's fun and you can still learn/refresh your knowledge.

Deceptively simple card game that never fails to entertain. Beautifully illustrated, this game works well at 2 and 3 players (haven't tried more) and each replay allows you to develop your strategy but the game mechanics means that there isn't one clear way to win which keeps it interesting. One of my favourite games.

Good game very enjoyable.

Lovely board game to teach the whole family about forest life. It takes a bit of time to understand the rules and work out a plan for how to build a healthy forest (that gives you plenty of points in the end:-)) Beautiful cards and quite educational as well to realise how interconnected everything in nature is. We played it twice now withour thirteen-year old granddaughter and like it.

Wonderfully simple to learn yet complex in strategy. Beautiful cards in this tableau building game. The only downside is that the cards are not great quality and are not standard size so sleeving them is tricky. They are slightly smaller than standard card sleeves but It's so worth buying the game anyway as It's amazing

Fantastic game. You can play strategically or just have fun with family and friends. I would recommend using card sleeves to protect the cards as I could see some slight scuffing after only a couple of games. I would also recommend the alpine and woodland expansion packs, in my opinion it improves the gameplay options.

Be careful, this game is addictive. And you learn about trees and animals

What do I dislike about the game? Winter is coming beware. Bears, I am glad we just have Dingoes. Where is an Australian version, we could have a drought or flood is coming?

Veio bem embalado em uma caixa, chegou com o aspecto realmente de novo. Jogo original, minha preocupação foi ao ver os comentários falando que colocavam uma etiqueta de papel na frente da caixa do jogo, mas por sorte não veio. Então recomendo esse produto e essa compra. O Jogo é muito bom!

My husband and I are huge board gamers. Our favorites are things like Wingspan, Dominion, and other similar games. We bought this on a whim thinking it might be fun for the occassional pre game warm up and we were pleasantly surprised. We love it and it's become a part of our favorites rotation. It works well as a two player as well as with more (although I'm not a fan of more than four). It is a longer full game as two player, but goes pretty quickly with more players. We like the different options for points and just the general game play. For a card based game it's pretty good and has more of a boardgame feel to it. With the different variations you can use it doesn't get boring too quickly. All in all a great game! I think it would also be suitable for kids and as a family game, although younger kids might not understand all the card pairing advantages they could still play it easily.

Un juego entretenido al principio es algo laborioso pero mientras más le agarras la onda mejoras.

This has become the most popular game in our big game-playing family. It's a table game that fits in a fairly small box, which is convenient, and doesn't need a huge space on the table. The cards have beautiful drawings of many trees, animals, butterflies, birds, and even fireflies, which are a pleasure just to look at. You draw cards and combine trees with the other elements in environmentally sophisticated combinations. It's one of those lovely games that are very easy to learn and play, but have many involved strategies to learn as you play more. It's for 1, 2, 3, or 4 players, and three generations of us enjoy it. We're Minnesotans, and we enjoy that the game is European, and all the animals in it have different species names from ours, e.g. we have white-tailed deer, theirs are red door or roe deer, and there are many unfamiliar birds and butterflies. A wonderful new quality game for all of us.
