This game comes in a small box, wrapped in a paper wrapper. The publisher is ecologically minded.
For such a small deck of cards, it leads to an interesting filler game. The rules are reasonably simple, the fact that you don't use all the cards in every game can lead to variable experiences, and it doesn't overstay its welcome.
If you've played Forest Shuffle, there's going to be an obvious comparison here. The core game mechanics are pretty much the same: draw two cards from the table and/or the draw deck, or play a card by discarding X number of cards to the table. Where the games differ is in the constraints that Reforest puts on your tableau and the fact that animals play a minimal role. Reforest has an altitude and stacking format to the tableau, where you can overgrow taller plants over the shrubs, ferns, and herbs of the understory, and this takes place in a 6 space triangular layout rather than the free-form layout of Forest Shuffle.
I would say that the game length and restrictive layout give this game enough teeth to give a similar satisfying puzzle experience to what you might get from Forest Shuffle, and having both games in your collection can be considered more viable due to the sheer size of this game box.
Additionally, the artwork strikes a similar chord as that of Wingspan, where the art seems like the drawings of a sketchbook with a white background, and is very appealing to look at. However, they cram a lot of information on the cards, and you are meant to stack the cards in such a way as to see the bottom of each overlapped card, where small coloured symbols and an amount of points remains seen for scoring purposes. The writing in these sections can be very small, and it is difficult to see.
That being said, I would recommend this to anyone who likes card-game puzzles with a light ruleset that can scratch that puzzly itch without overstaying its welcome or taking up much space on the shelf.
