Reasonably straightforward game about luck of the draw, spatial awareness, planning, and ***hole trees. Loved the somewhat-small footprint and simplicity for a game with tension and anticipating/disrupting your opponent's plans. Unfortunately, it's more adversarial than the family would like and it didn't see much play, so I sold it. Would be happy to play again, though.

Seeing everyone's arboretum at end game is charming, and I like the conflict of when to play or discard cards. However after a couple of plays I haven't found the game to be very satisfying. It felt like most games would boil down to seeing what someone else was building and holding onto a high card to block. In reaction most would either pivot to a lower number tableau or luck out and draw what they needed. After awhile I did not find the mechanics interesting. A visually-pleasing filler but not one I tend to get excited about.

I absolutely love the aesthetic of this game, and it's generally both quick and satisfying to play, but, for a half hour game the sometimes confusing scoring conditions can make it difficult and time consuming to teach to new players.
