Who it's for
Solo and small-group players who like layered tableaus with nature themes.
Not for you if…
You dislike planning around cards that opponents can take first.
Vibe's take
Warm on the surface, sharp underneath – the artwork invites you in, then the simultaneous reveals keep snatching exactly the colour you had planned around.
