Best Treehouse Ever

A quick card-drafting game about stacking rooms into the best treehouse without tipping the tree.

Who did not dream of the best treehouse ever? In Best Treehouse Ever you build yours over three weeks, which means three rounds. Each round you draft cards and use spatial thinking to add five new rooms to your tree. Careful, though: your tree must not tip over, so weight and balance matter, and your rooms must be more impressive than your friends' rooms. Everyone also takes turns choosing which room types score at the end of the round, so you watch the other treehouses closely and plan around what they are building. It is a quick card-drafting and layout game, twenty minutes long, from eight years up.
