About the game

What you do in a play session

Picture stepping into that forest where sunlight barely filters through the giant tree canopies. In Canopy: Evergreen, you'll build your own ecosystem in the Pacific temperate rainforest, complete with trees that physically grow (the 3D tokens are a showstopper!), clever animals, and point-scoring plants. The game uses a card selection system where you decide whether to take a stack now or wait for potentially better options — but watch out, because cute critters come mixed with wildfires and pests that can wreck your strategy. Each round, your trees gain growth rings (yep, they literally get taller on your board!) and animals interact in unexpected ways. After three seasons, the player with the most balanced and thriving forest wins. Pro tip: don't underestimate the salmon, they're worth their weight in gold here!
