## Description
In Sequoia, you take on the role of a forest guardian, tasked with growing the most imposing trees across 11 distinct forest ecosystems. The game unfolds over 10 rounds, where every decision matters. Each turn, you have the freedom to choose two of your trees to nurture and grow. The big question is: where will you focus your efforts? Will you fiercely compete in an already crowded forest, risking it all for that top score, or will you diversify, planting your seeds in more promising grounds? The choice is yours, and it will determine your fate in the game.

The dice in Sequoia aren't just for adding a touch of luck; they are tools that force you into difficult decisions. Each roll presents a range of options, but none of them will be trivial. You'll have to grapple with randomness to try and shape your trees' growth as you intend. At the end of the 10 rounds, whoever has the tallest tree in each forest claims the main victory points. Second place gets a small consolation prize, but the goal is to be number one. Prepare for a game that is pure "choose your battles" strategy, where every move is considered, and tension builds with each round, culminating in finishes that can be decided by the narrowest of margins in exciting tie-breaker rounds. It's a quick and strategic duel against other players and, in a way, against luck itself.
