## Description
Get ready for an aerial duel in the mini-game Forest Sky! Here, crows, hawks, eagles, and owls vie for dominance of the skies in a constant dance of power. With just 18 cards, this hand management game challenges you to create the best 6-card combination for scoring. Each card has its own scoring rule, and the trick is to use both the 3 cards in your hand (your "sky") and one of the cards available on the table (the "forest") to finalize your score. Throughout the game, you'll be adding cards, shaping both your hand and the common area, all to ensure the skies are on your side. It's a quick game, ideal for those who enjoy strategy in few turns and don't have much time but want to think a little. Perfect for taking anywhere, as it comes in a super compact, wallet-style packaging. If you like games with an animal theme, especially birds, and enjoy a hand management mechanic that makes you think about your choices, Forest Sky might be a great pick. It's one of those gems that shows you can have a cool experience with very few components. Just be mindful of the language dependency, as the cards need to be clear for everyone to play without a hitch.
