Forest Shuffle (EN)

The local forest is a busy place: all kinds of animals scurry around, looking for edible plants and insects. Some prefer to sit high up in the trees, while others seek 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. This way you create a habitat for plants and animals that is ecologically in balance.

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

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 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.
