Reviews
Living Forest (Games Radar): “Living Forest feels a bit like a game in search of an audience. For a game with a Kennerspiel nomination, it’s a bit lightweight for the hobby crowd seeking board games for adults. But at the same time, it has a few too many bells and whistles for mainstream success. And that’s kind of a shame, because Living Forest represents a smart and successful synthesis of styles and concepts.”
