Ideally sized. Simple play. Had hoped it could still be played solo.
The art alone is enough to bring you into the game, but you stay for the gameplay! Featherstone games incorporates the entry level gaming mechanics with enough strategic interest to get new and veteran gamers alike around the same table. We sought the game out after GenCon 2023 and were not disappointed when we ordered it! Thank you and look forward to more games in the future!
This game is simply beautiful! It's a fun and easy to learn game. We even adapted it to 2 players. It's quick as well, taking only about 20-30 minutes. The mechanics are simple, yet complex enough that it changes every time you play. I highly recommend it if you are just getting into card games as well as if you've played everything out there.
Winterhaven Wonders Expansion
Fun to play, easy to pick up and a game that I can travel with
The packaging was very nice and beautiful. I haven't had a chance to play it with friends and family yet, but I appreciated the amount of obvious care that went into this that I felt I had to give it a good review.
I love this game so far. The art is super pretty, and the game play is really great too. Can't wait for the next game!
I don’t normally love take that mechanisms in games, but I feel like the thematic approach during play was a really fun interaction. I definitely preferred a 3-6 player game over the 2 player experience, but the fun came from planning out your woods just right and not letting your opponents get the cards that would hurt you the most, if you could. Thanks Joel for the wonderful art as always! Makes the game so much cooler, pun intended!
The problem with buying a game off of Kickstarter is there are no reviews to help guide your decision. In this case it was a really good one. Winterhaven Woods is a simple, well thought out game that still requires some strategy. It's easy to figure out yet requires you to think as much about what your opponents are doing as what you want to do. I like the fact that you can steal cards from your opponents but get penalized if you abuse that privilege. Also, the artwork is wonderful. I just wish they would sell some Winterhaven Woods themed placemats to help you lay out your cards while playing.
Such a chill game. Simple. Deep. Playing Winterhaven Woods is like a guided meditation.
Great card game, awesome graphics and a well thought through theme. Gameplay is quick and whilst there is an element of take that, I really like the nastiness penalty. Take advantage in the game a few too many times and when it comes to final scoring you could loose out big time... One of our personal favourites.
Fun and easy to learn. Our game night group loved it as well! One of our group made an army of hedgehogs every round, and ended up winning. Such a fun game, and I can't wait till my kids are old enough to play too.
Great family game! Wonderful artwork! Just the right time of play length and complexity for such an engaging card game!
I have mostly played this with my 6 year old daughter who loves the cards and can understand the game at the most basic setup. It can also get very complicated depending on how you play it, so the game has an impressive age range. We haven’t even broken into the Kickstarter expansion cards yet. I am impressed both by the games as well as the frequent updates on Kickstarter.
An easy to teach, fun to play, card drafter. This game is great - highly recommended. The artwork is fantastic.
Everything was smooth, they were always in touch, and delivered on time.
The game is a quick set collection with beautiful artwork and fun gameplay mechanics. Switch up the scoring criteria with expansion sets and you’ll have a good time for sure! Great with our party of 3 players.
Winterhaven Woods is a lovely game. The theme is well thought out, the illustrations are gorgeous and the gameplay is fast and varied. The short game time and numerous optional changes the expansion adds keeps the game fresh. The 2 player mode is fun but it really shines once you get 3 or more players.
Highly recommended
Upon receiving my Kickstarter set, I sat with my wife and 11yo daughter and played a game of Winterhaven Woods and iits ease, depth and charm made it an instant favourite for our family and one we now play regularly in the evenings.
One of my favorite games! Very relaxing, not complicated, and especially beautiful with its artwork. Use it as one of the regular evening family event)
Many groups have said they love the art and concept. One of the lucky groups got to keep my high quality PnP version, when the final one came in.
WW is a great little game, love playing it in the evening or at the pub ( sleeved cards of course ) when I want to play a quick comforting relaxing game. The rules are simple so it’s an easy game to introduce to new gamers and the production is amazing and the artwork is just beautiful. Something I will take with me on my next holiday or play by the fire at Christmas.
I was initially drawn to this game by the artwork. I really loved it and the art work was so cute. I knew my wife would love it too so it was a must back! When it arrived we were thrilled! The art on the box was great and the quality of the cards is brilliant. When we first day down to play it seemed a little complicated but after we tried it we picked it up really quickly! It's one of our most played games when we have family and friends round. 100% would recommend this game to everyone who likes card games!
