$Board Games w\/ Vic - Forrest Shuffle$

Come learn a new board game and play it with the guru of games, the titan of the tabletop, the king of Catan: Vic!
You know him from the Catan League, Deck-Building Nights, Giant Catan @ conventions, and more!
Each month highlights a board game mechanic (such as worker placement and tile laying) or a theme (like "earth" or "spring")
It's only $7 for the evening; that includes game time and game learning!
In Forest Shuffle, players compete to gather the most valuable trees, then attract species to these trees, thus creating an ecologically balanced habitat for flora and fauna.
To start, each player has six cards in hand, with cards depicting either a particular type of tree or two forest dwellers (animal, plant, mushroom, etc.), with these latter cards being divided in half, whether vertically or horizontally, with one dweller in each card half.
On a turn, either draw two cards — whether face down from the deck or face up from the clearing — and add them to your hand, or play a card from your hand by paying the cost, then putting it into play.
During set-up, three winter cards were placed into the bottom third of the deck. When the third winter card is drawn, the game ends immediately, then players tally their points based on the trees and dwellers in their forest. Whoever scores the most points wins.
