Pros & Cons
Pros
The game is easy to play, but it has various strategies/tactics that you can use. It is a game we can play with our teenagers ( with minimal arguing ), this is a great perk! If this is your kind of game, it's a blast.
This boardgame is really a lot packed into a small box. The footprint of the box is minimal and the cost is very reasonable. It's quick and needs medium table space.

Highlights
Quality
The quality of the game materials is fantastic.
This game is beautiful and offers a relaxing and often underexplored theme with the different tree species.

Packaging/appearance
The game itself i give 5 stars and the packaging and cards 4 stars.
The box packaging the cards and instructions was a bit flimsy.
Competitiveness
It's not the most intuitive rule, but it makes for a fair amount of competition and strategy.
Nice quick game when you need a break from other strategy-heavy or time-consuming games.
For me the instructions were a bit confusing but i was able to get help by watching utube videos.

While playing i got the sense it would be a high scoring game but as we neared the end i realized many of us would not be able to score many of our series and this turned out to be true
