A new continent awaits in the Forest Shuffle universe! After exploring Central Europe in Forest Shuffle and southern England in Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor, this third standalone game takes you to North America’s Great Smoky Mountains. Crisscrossed by rivers and streams, this beloved national park is home to one of the continent’s most biodiverse ecosystems. The game builds on the series’ popular gameplay with new species and clever new twists. New terrain types are built around water, and you can play them on their own or as universal waters beneath your trees. You’ll find new connections between flora and fauna, all centered on water, alongside large animals like black bears and bobcats.

Gameplay Overview: In Forest Shuffle, you grow your own little forest one card at a time. You plant trees, then attach animals, plants, and fungi to their tops, bottoms, and sides. Cards serve double duty as both creatures and currency, so every play means choosing what to give up. Species score points based on the company they keep, and building the right combos is where the satisfaction lies. Smoky Mountains adds a refreshing splash with water terrain cards that create new habitats and new scoring synergies for creatures that live by rivers and streams. Big animals like black bears and bobcats bring their own new ways to score. It’s a standalone game, so it’s a great starting point for newcomers to the series and a fresh new forest for longtime fans. Whether you’re a nature lover or a combo builder, there’s a lot to explore here.
