Canopy (GTGWCG11)
Canopy is a card-drafting game from Weird City Games, for ages 10+, that plays in about 30 minutes.
How it plays
Players compete to grow the most vibrant rainforest. Each turn you explore one of three growth piles and draft cards to add trees, plants and animals to your forest.
Wildfires, disease and drought threaten your ecosystem, so it's a push-your-luck draft: do you take the pile in front of you, or risk the next one? Set collection of flora, fauna and weather drives your score. Art is by Vincent Dutrait.
