Forest Shuffle - Dartmoor (English)

Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor is a standalone game in the Forest Shuffle series, where you build and develop new ecosystems. Here, players place trees, bushes, and terrain cards to attract various species and create a balanced nature with flora and fauna.

New Features in Dartmoor:

• Terrain Cards: Played horizontally and serve as habitats or feeding grounds for species that cannot live on trees or bushes.

• Species Behavior: Deer and other animals stay away from bogs and swamp areas. The placement of species requires strategy, so they feel safe and have access to water.

• Unique Back of the Cards: All 180 cards can be flipped with the back side up to create bogs if the action allows it.

• Symmetrical Starting Conditions: The dens are selected at the start of the game and provide asymmetrical starting conditions.

• Reduced Number of Tree Symbols: From eight to six, making it easier to achieve bonuses.

Game Mechanics:

• Each player starts with six cards in hand, showing either trees, bushes, terrain, or two moor-dwellers (animal/plant species). These cards are split, with one species in each half.

• On a turn, you can either draw two cards (from the deck or from the clearing) or play a card from your hand by discarding other cards as payment.

• The game ends when all cards have been played, and the player with the most points wins.

Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor combines strategy, understanding of nature, and tactics, perfect for anyone who loves beautiful, vibrant, and challenging ecosystems.
