About the game

What you do in a play session

The Best Treehouse Ever: Kickstarter Promo Pack arrived as an extra treat for anyone who backed the 2015 campaign and secured at least one full copy of the base game. Inside the box you’ll find three types of cards that expand the core experience. First, the Advanced Bonus Cards: six new cards that introduce secret objectives, but with a twist – the higher you build your hidden formation in the tree, the more points it earns. Next, the Advanced Score Modifiers: four cards that alter how points are tallied at the end of each round, creating fresh strategic decisions and boosting replayability. Finally, the Birdhouses: each player receives a unique card that can be discarded once to reset the Balance Marker, helping to get out of a tight spot. All of this preserves the core Open Drafting and Pattern Building mechanics while adding layers of choice and risk that make each game more tactical. The game remains quick (about 30 minutes) and light (weight 1/5), ideal for fans of easy‑to‑learn card games that still reward planning. If you already enjoy Best Treehouse Ever or like deck‑building games with secret goals, this pack is a worthwhile upgrade. Even newcomers can use the content as an entry point, as the cards are self‑explanatory and fit seamlessly into the original rules.
