Forest Shuffle: Smoky Mountains

Journey to the biodiverse Great Smoky Mountains National Park, managing water-centered terrain cards, river synergies, and large wildlife to build a thriving habitat.

Forest Shuffle: Smoky Mountains (designed by Kosch and published by Lookout Games) is the third standalone game in the popular Forest Shuffle series, taking players across the Atlantic to North America. The primary gameplay objective follows the familiar multi-use card mechanics of the series—planting flora, sheltering fauna, and tucking cards—while introducing brand-new strategic layers. (Note: This is a standalone release and cannot be combined with other standalone core sets or expansions.)

The primary mechanical highlight is its water-centered terrain and universal river integration: new terrain types focus on rivers and streams, acting as playable habitats or universal water elements tucked under trees. Alongside aquatic species, you'll also manage large regional wildlife like black bears and bobcats. Designed for 2 to 5 players aged 10 and up, tactical sessions play out in about 60 minutes. To claim victory, you must optimize your water synergies and accumulate the most habitat points.
