Forest Shuffle: Alpine

New Peaks, New Species, New Strategies

The forest floor you know from Forest Shuffle just got a whole lot taller. Alpine elevates your game — literally — into the mixed mountain forests of the Alps, where the ecosystem shifts as the altitude rises and entirely new species compete for their place in the canopy. If you've played the base game enough to know your favourite combos, this expansion is the nudge your forest needed.

What It Is

From Lookout Games, Forest Shuffle is a celebrated card-drafting game about building a thriving woodland ecosystem — pairing animals, plants, and fungi with the right trees to score points and outgrow your opponents. Forest Shuffle: Alpine brings 36 new cards into that ecosystem, each illustrated in the same gorgeous naturalistic style that made the base game a visual standout. Two new tree types join the mix alongside new Alpine species, and some cards introduce clever rule twists that open up fresh strategic avenues. The result is a meaningfully expanded card pool that rewards players who thought they'd seen everything the forest had to offer.

Who It's For

This expansion is aimed squarely at players who already love Forest Shuffle and are ready for more variety and strategic texture. It integrates seamlessly with the base game — just shuffle the new cards in — so there's no complicated setup or separate mode to learn. Ideal for the same crowd who enjoyed the base game: two to five players, ages ten and up, with sessions typically running 40 to 70 minutes depending on player count. If the base game felt a little solved for your group, Alpine shakes the canopy.

Features & Highlights

Thirty-six new multifunctional cards means a noticeably larger and more varied draw pool with every play. The two new tree types expand which species can be legally sheltered and paired, creating combinations that simply didn't exist before. Several cards introduce rule-bending effects that add a layer of tactical decision-making for players who enjoy reading the board and planning ahead. The artwork continues the meticulous natural illustration style of the original — these cards look at home in any forest worth building.
