## Description
Looking for that perfect game to toss in your bag and get everyone off their phones anywhere? Forest is exactly that. With whimsical and charming art, the game proposes the creation of infinite landscapes while testing your reflexes and observation skills. The dynamics are simple yet frantic: the goal is to be the first to spot seven identical creatures scattered across the cards on the table. But don't let the cute appearance fool you; here, mental agility and peripheral vision are your best weapons.

There are four types of little hidden creatures you need to monitor: owls, frogs, fairies, and even Santa Claus (yes, he's here!). Each card can contain up to four of these beings, mixed with famous fairy tale characters who, while making the visuals stunning, serve only as decoration to distract those who aren't paying attention. The tension rises as cards are revealed and you try to count the creatures mentally while your opponents are doing the same.

The game flows quickly, with matches lasting about 15 minutes, making it ideal as a 'filler' between heavier games or for those just starting their hobby journey. There are no language barriers, as the experience is purely visual and intuitive. If you enjoy fast-paced perception games and want something that involves the whole family without needing to read a 40-page manual, Forest is the right choice. It's the kind of game that starts calmly and ends with everyone shouting 'found it!' at the same time, creating a healthy and fun competitive atmosphere.
