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.

Oh how I love Arboretum. I first learned about this game from Shut Up and Sit Down, and then was lucky enough to find an original copy at a local game store. From the very first play, I fell in love with the tension and tough decisions this game presents. Every card play is thought-provoking, and every discard is torture (in a good way, of course). With experience, you will develop mind games with your opponents. Each card play or discard is a signal to be read or misread, and, at least with two players, the game feels like a tense battle of wits. The game gets more chaotic with more players, and strategies have to change to account for that. I prefer the strategy of the two player game, but would love to play it with more as well. I love the art in the original version, and prefer it to the new Renegade version. However, I am also very happy to see this very deserving game get a reprint. More people should play this great game. Update (6/2020): Still greatly enjoy Arboretum, but after branching out into more card games, I'm lowering the rating a bit. Certainly could go back up with more plays.
