Sequoia is a ten-minute dice race to grow the tallest trees in eleven different forests. Each turn you get to grow two of your trees, and the dice always offer you choices, hard ones. Do you keep fighting in a forest with plenty of competition, or start growing somewhere else? After your 10 turns, whoever has the tallest tree in a forest takes its victory points; second place gets a small consolation prize. Ties in each forest are settled by extra tie-breaker rounds that can lead to big finishes. A 2020 game for two to five players, best with four or five.
Who it's for
You want a very short dice game with real choices and area-majority tension, for up to five.
Not for you if…
You want long-term planning or a heavy game. Ten minutes of choices is the whole thing.
Vibe's take
Quick and tactical. Every roll puts a small dilemma in front of you, and a lost forest can be forgotten in favor of one with less competition.
