Start your journey into nature and collect cards to become a true nature observer. 1-4 Players | 60-90 Mins | Ages 10+ Features: Hand Management, Layering, Open Drafting, Set Collection, Solo / Solitaire Game, Worker Placement, Different Worker Types Theme: Animals, Card Game, Environmental, Exploration Description: Meadow is an engaging set collection game with over two hundred unique cards containing hand-painted watercolor illustrations. In the game, players take the role of explorers competing for the title of the most skilled nature observer. To win, they collect cards with the most valuable species, landscapes, and discoveries. Their journey is led by passion, a curiosity of the world, an inquiring mind, and a desire to discover the mysteries of nature. The competition continues at the bonfire where the players race to fulfill the goals of their adventures. In this medium-weight board game for 1-4 players, you take turns placing path tokens on one of the two boards. Placing a token on the main board allows the player to get cards, but playing them requires meeting certain requirements. Playing a token on the bonfire board activates special actions (which helps to implement a chosen strategy) and gives the opportunity to achieve goals that provide additional points. Throughout the game, players collect cards in their meadow and surroundings area. At the end, the player with the most points on cards and on the bonfire board wins. Meadow also includes envelopes with additional cards to open at specific moments...

Artwork to marvel at, with unique art on every card, but don't be fooled by those pretty creatures and scenes, as you might need that cockroach to win the game. If you like deep thinking, thoughtful placement, with a pleasant theme that feels like you've accomplished something even if you lose, you'll love this game. We think this game is perfect for 2 players, and we add our own in-house rule, that the bottom row is purged, with cards shuffling down between each round, to have those cards refresh more on the table and create more urgency for the bottom row. Every single card is unique and there are a lot of them, I'd play it just for the artwork :-) We have managed to teach our children on how to play this game. Aged 10 and 12 they had no problem picking this up and they all enjoyed the game. A family hit, and a couple's dream. The only thing to be mindful of is this game can suffer from long turns due to overthinking the card selection. We think it plays best 3 players or less. We rank this game a 8.5 / 10!
