"Temperate Treetops" focuses on the diverse, highly specialized fauna of the treetops of temperate mixed and coniferous forests. All jigsaw puzzles from the "Wildlife Collection" together form one large artwork, celebrating the beauty of wildlife.
The wildlife Collection originates from the precise hand of the legendary puzzle artist - John Francis. Together they form an epochal masterpiece consisting of 8,000 pieces and several hundred illustrated animal species. The entire collection dates from a time before the internet and digital image editing thus every detail is hand-drawn and unaltered. Since this unique collection was no longer available worldwide, we have searched for the original art pieces and were successful. These masterful puzzles got realized with the help of the Kickstarter community and can now once again returne into the hands of puzzle fans and collectors around the globe. Thanks to modern printing processes, the entire collection shines with greater precision and colour intensity than ever before. As with all our products, high quality, yet sustainable production is guaranteed.
John Francis is a true jigsaw puzzle legend. His hand-drawn paintings have an unsurpassed precision. He is a wildlife art genius and has drawn countless famous jigsaw puzzles over decades that have been sold worldwide. It has been a great honor for us to be in contact with him and to be able to bring back his fantastic Wildlife Collection.

This "Revised" edition of Fortune and Glory is a reprint of a very popular and very OOP game. What is striking is that they significantly reduced the quality and aesthetics by shrinking the box size, removing plastic tokens and replacing them with cardboard, removing the glossy sheen from all the tokens, removing the "bad giys from WW2's" symbols from the game (because...you know, someone might get offended), and lastly changing the main game board to a tri-fold style design that is super flimsy to which mine along with others on bgg is already starting to peel away and tear from simply opening it out of the box.
And to put a cherry ontop, they sold this new edition at the same price as the original. I gave it three stars because yes, the game is still the same and is an outstanding experience and a lot of fun, but these "changes" left me feeling like I purchased a print and play edition of Fortune and Glory.
What a pleasant surprise! The first thing that you will notice is the quality of the art and card style. Beautiful! This game will be intuitive, easy to learn and smooth to play for anyone with a little experience playing modern boardgames. It’s a mid-weight game strategy-wise and well worth the very reasonable price point. With more games coming out in the series to offer mix and match options with the heroes, I’m really looking forward to playing this more and buying the rest!
Love this game! Plays beat with people who enjoy being creative and silly. So much fun!
