Customer reviews
Halfway between a game of traditional Playing Cards and something like Love Letter..
My wife loves games you play with a traditional deck of cards, and I love deck builders and games like Love Letter (okay, she likes Love Letter too), but often we are at odds because I'm always in the mood for the latter and the former bores me. This is a nice compromise. Based on the item page I thought this was a game with every card having powers (like Love Letter, Brave Rats, etc) but no, some of the cards are just regular playing cards of a suite. Since there are only three suites and the suites are simplified the game has to be very well balanced to pull this off and it does. Gameplay is easy to learn smooth, and enjoyable. It's a little tricky to figure out if you want to win or lose every hand but that's where the strategy comes in (is the other player letting you win or trying to beat you?). You are supposed to play for a certain number of points/rounds but you can just play one round if you feel like it or keep playing if you're having fun, and that's a nice feature. I love the artwork but I just wish there was more of it or way I wish the unusual art was played up a bit more (the young girl wood-cutter was my favorite). Likewise I like the theme, I just wish there was more (maybe a complete story of some sort that playing the game helps to tell?). As it is, the 75% greatness of this game that feels a little incomplete is solidified by the fact that it's well balanced, high quality, and CHEAP. If the price were higher I would subtract a few points based on the fact that the game could be fleshed out a little, but at this price it's a steal. Grab it and enjoy along with Lost Cities and Guillotine.

Easy to learn if you like spades
My husband and I and the rest of my family who is now grown up, always love playing games. I was looking for something other than that gammon or cribbage that could be played by two people. Since we love playing spades with the family when they’re here, I decided to try this one. Fox in the forest is very pretty, easy to learn, and plays similar to spades, but the special Cards And the different goals make it more fun. It’s good if you watch a tutorial on how to play and then play it at least four times to begin to understand the strategy. It’s a little more complicated than it looks to get the feel of it. In spades all you’re doing is trying to get exactly the amount of tricks that you bid you could take. In fox in the forest you were trying for a targeted area and trying to keep your partner in another part targeted area by using the special cards. I really recommend it for people who want to play a game that doesn’t take very long. It’s the perfect thing to throw in your suitcase for those nights in a motel where you order dinner in and don’t wanna watch TV.

Fast-paced and fun 2-person strategy game with unique scoring system
Really fun "trick" card game for two! I took a chance on this right before a weekend camping trip with my wife, knowing we would have some time to kill. It is pretty easy to learn, and there's a lot of replay value thanks to card actions and the the unique scoring system. I particularly like how you can win the game in the long run if you intentionally lose rounds! That makes for some interesting strategizing, but without making things overly complicated. Highly recommend!

Muy divertido y competitivo.
Compre este juego para jugar con mi novia y nos pareció excelente, nos llevamos un buen rato de diversion, pueden ser partidas muy rápidas pero bastante entretenidas. Inicialmente nos costo un poco de trabajo entender las reglas pero ya comprendiéndolo el juego es muy simple sin mencionar que el arte de las cartas es hermoso.
