Product Description

Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor is a stand-alone card game in the Forest Shuffle world where you build a rich moorland habitat filled with wildlife, terrain and scoring synergies. It keeps the clever card play of the original, but adds fresh twists like moors, caves, terrain cards and new species abilities for a new style of puzzle. The rules confirm it is a stand-alone game for 2–5 players, ages 10+, with a 60-minute play time, and it cannot be combined with Forest Shuffle and its expansions.

Why you’ll love it

• Stand-alone Forest Shuffle experience, so you do not need the original game to play
• New terrain cards and moors add a fresh spatial and tactical layer to the system
• Caves give players asymmetric starting setups before the game begins, which adds replay value right from turn one
• Easy turn structure: on your turn you either draw two cards or play one card
• Rich scoring puzzle where animals and plants care about habitats, neighbors, card types and forest layout
• Great for players who enjoy calm-looking games with sneaky-smart decisions
