Forest Shuffle: Woodland Edge

2024 · Card Game

Forest Shuffle: Woodland Edge

Adds 36 new cards that expand the game with edge-of-forest habitats, new flora and fauna, and hidden pathways. Players integrate the cards into the existing deck to encounter diverse wildlife, open new movement options, and manage woodland resources for scoring. The set modifies strategic choices by introducing habitat-specific effects and interactions with existing cards, increasing variety without changing core rules.

    I’m not sure. It’s not bad, but I think I liked the game more with just the Alpine expansion. Maybe I will take out the shrubs and try to play with only half of the expansion.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

How many cards do we remove when mixing Woodland Edge with the base game?

Return 10 cards to the box unseen, then remove additional cards unseen so the deck size matches the player-count table: with one expansion — 2 players: 45 cards, 3 players: 30, 4 players: 15, 5 players: none; with two expansions — 2p: 80*, 3p: 50*, 4p: 35, 5p: 20 (hint for two expansions: you may instead form piles and remove piles as described). (page 2)

Are shrubs counted as trees or mushrooms, and how do they work?

Shrubs are neither trees nor mushrooms: they provide slots for one card on each of their four sides (like trees) and have a permanent effect (like mushrooms); you apply the shrub’s permanent effect when you use the shrub’s bonus. (page 3)

When do I resolve a card’s bonus — before or after paying for the card?

Perform the card’s bonus after you have paid for the card — the rule clarifies this explicitly for Bee Swarm and for Eurasian Magpie (and notes for Magpie that if only one card is in the clearing you take that one). (page 3)

What does the Stinging Nettle effect refer to — which tree or shrub?

The Stinging Nettle effect refers to the specific tree or shrub to which the Stinging Nettle is attached. (page 3)

What does the new '1 from the clearing' icon mean?

The '1 from the clearing' icon means: take one card from the clearing into your hand. (page 4)

How many different butterflies are there in the game?

There are seven different butterflies only if you play with both expansions; otherwise the full set of seven is not present. (page 3)
