Forest Sky

About this board game

Forest Sky is an 18-card hand-management game for 2–4 players that plays in about 15 minutes. Players compete to create the best six-card scoring combination from a changing arrangement of cards.

Crows, hawks, eagles, and owls wheel above the forest, reflecting the shifting balance of power that determines who rules the skies. Every card features a unique scoring rule, so the cards you collect can shape very different paths to a strong final result.

During the game, each player manages three cards in hand, known as the sky, while also using one of the shared card pools, known as the forest. Drawing cards fills the forests and gives players opportunities to influence the cards available for their final scoring combination.

• 18 cards with unique scoring rules
• Hand management centered on a three-card “sky”
• Shared card pools that form the “forest”
• Competition for the best six-card scoring combination

The central challenge is balancing your personal hand with the shared pools. As the forests develop, players must shape their skies in their favor while considering which scoring rules can work together most effectively.

With its compact card set, distinctive bird theme, and constantly changing balance of scoring possibilities, Forest Sky offers a focused contest in a short play time. It was released in 2022 and was included in Casual Game Insider Magazine CGI#45 (2023).
