· OUR TAKE ·

What it is

A game for 1 to 4 people who want a calm tableau full of small wildlife. You push a numbered path token into the central board to take a card from the market, then lay a card over one in your meadow showing a matching symbol. A campfire board offers special actions and goals built from pairs of symbols. The market refreshes once, when the South deck gives way to the North deck.

What we love

  • Path tokens block their space until the round ends, so the market gets tight.
  • Cards overlap, so each new card costs you the symbol it covers and adds its own.
  • The swap from South deck to North deck changes the second half.

Honest trade-offs

  • There are a lot of symbols, which can overwhelm new players.
  • Turns can stall as people rethink their options, especially at higher counts.
  • Late card draws can leave some cards or goals out of reach.
