I tried out the web app when this game was on Kickstarter. And it was just OK. I wasn’t so interested in it and have avoided buying this game. Even the components aren’t that amazing: there are 4 goal types for each animal, and only two art works. I wish they had commissioned Beth Sob to do artwork for each card. I hate repeat art. The wooden pieces are nice because they’re wooden. But the image printed on is blurry. UGH. Have you seen Meeplesource wooden tokens? Now THOSE are nice and are basically my standard. Fast forward: I want relaxing games that aren’t too long because I’m super stressed out. Solo mode is necessary and if my elderly parents can also play that’s a bigger plus. So this game checks all the boxes: it’s relaxing, it has a solo mode, it has a FAMILY VARIANT - I wish more games did this!, it’s relaxing and not too taxing on the brain, and it can play quickly (in solo mode). Solo mode is great: you basically split the tiles in half and play with one half. Then you can play again with the other half. The complex rules is how to use the pine cones and the “overpopulation” rule. I highly recommend this game for its solo mode and for people who want to play with people who can’t tolerate so many rules. It’s easy to understand especially the family variant.

Game was fairly easy to pick up, but not so easy that it’s boring. We had a blast playing it and know it will become one of our board game staples! Has multiple variations to change things up. Highly recommend.

Love this game! Each game is slightly different. There are ideas in the instructions to challenge yourself if needed. The game pieces are nice and sturdy as well!

This is a great game that offers so much variety everytime you play it. There are also a lot of suggestions for different goals to accomplish and different varieties of play. There is also a simpler playing style for younger kids or for those who just want a simpler game. It is also a great solo game. I have really enjoyed trying to accomplish the different achievements. I would recommend this game for anyone who loves games. I would recommend this as a great solo game.

Easy instructions to follow for first time player. I usually solo all of my games before I bring others to the table so it was nice that they included solo variant rules. Definitely a new favorite.

Great game, easy to pick up, you can play solo. Good with a group.

We love this game. Gameplay is simple, but allows for some interesting strategies, to build your score. This game is a must for game night.

This game can be very addicting because its easy to learn but the possibilities are endless, especially when you start playing with different wildlife scoring cads. I especially love the wooden wild tokens! This game is very easy to learn but it does involve some strategy and also a bit of luck. Its similar to Calico, but I liked this one much better because you arent restricted by the size of the game board. You are free to make your own landscape. I highly recommend this game for those who want a quick game play (most games last 40 to 50 minutes). Great for two players!

I absolutely love this game. Its peaceful and fun. You can play with a few friends or by yourself. This is the first game Ive ever played like it kind of like a puzzle and board game all in one.

This is a great game for couples, families, and casual game nights—while being interesting enough for more serious gamers. It’s very easy to learn and you can scale up the complexity as needed for variety or different groups of gamers, using the different scoring goal cards provided Ed. My eight year old loves it, but so do my gaming group. This game is wonderful for anyone wanting a relaxing, beautiful, pleasant experience that is challenging enough to stay interesting but simple enough to let everyone chat. Who wouldn’t like it? It may not be as interesting to people who like hyper competitive, cutthroat games. You need to pay some attention to what other players do, but it’s really a point salad game; it’s about doing the best you can with what you are given. On the other hand, that makes it very replayable as there is no sure fire repeatable path to victory . It’s a game you can teach in under 10 minutes and play in under 40, with just about any gaming experience level.
