## Description
Remember when your biggest life goal was building the ultimate backyard fort? In Fort, you're a kid again, and your mission is straightforward: gather the coolest crew, hoard as much pizza as possible, and construct the most impressive fort in the neighborhood. But don't think you'll just be sitting around waiting for your turn; the interaction here is electric. The game's standout feature is that you don't just watch your opponents—you can 'follow' their actions, using your own cards to piggyback on their moves. It's that classic 'I want to do that too!' energy that defines childhood.

However, friendship comes with a catch. If you hoard cards and fail to use them, your friends might lose interest, and you'll actually lose cards from your deck. It's a tense hand-management system where you must balance the desire to save the perfect card for the right moment against the risk of being left out. The artwork is vibrant and perfectly captures the vibe of classic cartoons like 'Codename: Kids Next Door' and 'Recess', turning your gaming table into a school playground.

To win, you'll need a solid strategy for your deck-building, deciding whether to focus on expanding your social circle or becoming a master of imitation, capitalizing on the opportunities your opponents create. It's a fast-paced game with constant twists and a theme that appeals to both hardcore strategists and those looking for something lighthearted and fun. Get your imagination ready, call your friends, and start building, because the most epic fort in the neighborhood takes the victory!
