Forest Shuffle

Forest Shuffle

This is the Dutch-language edition. There is a lot going on in the local forest: all kinds of animals scurry about, looking for edible plants and insects. Some prefer to sit high up in the trees, while others seek out the safety of the bushes or the shelter of the trees. In Forest Shuffle you plant trees in your forest and add various animals, plants and mushrooms. In this way you create a habitat for plants and animals that is ecologically in balance.

To start, each player holds six cards, with cards showing a certain type of tree or two forest dwellers (animal, plant, mushroom, etc.). These last cards are divided in two either vertically or horizontally, with one dweller in each half of the card.

How to play Forest Shuffle

On your turn you draw two cards (face down from the deck or face up from the clearing) and add them to your hand, or you play a card from your hand by paying its cost and then bringing it into play.

During setup, three winter cards were placed in the bottom third of the deck. When the third winter card is drawn, the game ends immediately, after which the players add up their points based on the trees and dwellers in their forest. Whoever scores the most points wins.

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