Who it's for

Players who enjoy elegant, medium-weight tile games with a subtle social layer rather than open confrontation.

Not for you if…

You want a game with heavy direct interaction β€” Alpina's bluffing is subtle, not a loud take-that experience.

🦊

Vibe's take

Calm and thoughtful on the surface, with a quiet undercurrent of neighborly deception that keeps you watching what everyone else is building.

About this game

Alpina hands you a camera and sends you into the Swiss National Park to photograph wildlife β€” nutcrackers, grass frogs, and more β€” while the landscape itself shapes how you score. Each card played balances raw points against the chance to mislead your neighbors about your plans. It's a quiet, elegant tile game about patience and reading the table.
