Forest Shuffle Smoky Mountains

The best Forest Shuffle yet! It basically combines everything from the first two versions into one streamlined game. There are still combos that feel OP, but the sudden ending keeps it tense and because everyone is doing something crazy it still comes out close.

So far, this game is a 10/10 for me and my wife. We are huge fans of all the previous titles, but this one takes the best of Forest Shuffle Base Game and Forest Shuffle Dartmoor and puts those two together.

I love Forest Shuffle, and this newest version is Forest Shuffle. It's a fun mix of cards that changes up the strategies and has the added bonus of going elsewhere in the world (in this case, closer to home). I would love it if Lookout released solo challenges as they did with the other games. I'm not sure where this fits in with the other Forest Shuffle sets--it's definitely most similar to Dartmoor--but I really enjoy it.

Adds a few new mechanics to spice up the gameplay from the original, it is a much better showing than the first sequel (Dartmoor). It feels a faster game to me, there is an ability to take X cards from the deck and then choose one if it meets the requirements. Definitely churns through the deck faster.
