Set collection card game with spatial puzzle by creating paths (same type, sequential numbers). The puzzle can turn into a real brain burner, and calculating the best option can be stressful. [b]Pros:[/b] + Artwork + Building spatial paths with different types of trees + Players play a card and discard a card + Players can draw a card from the two common discard piles + Players want to play cards but also need to hold them in their hand to score at the end of the game: only one path of a type is scored (the highest left-over card in players hand decides who scores, except for the 1 card) + Compact game + Quick playing time [b]Neutrals[/b] # Cut-throat with 2 players # Very thinky game, calculating best options [b]Similar games:[/b] * Piepmatz (set collection card game, less thinky)

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.

Pretty game but very mean, expect some of your plans to be foiled. Plays quick, and nearly every turn requires difficult decisions.
