Alpina
A wildlife-photography tile game where every card is either a scoring move or a bluff aimed at your neighbor.
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 — 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 — nutcrackers, grass frogs, and more — 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.
