Renegade Game Studios Fox in the Forest ,2 Player Card Games, Trick-Taking Strategy Game for Adults, Compact Travel Board Game, 30 min

This is a fun game that is always on the table now. It’s great for a quick game to kill a little time. It’s easy enough to figure out. The cards feel thick and quality, I’m sure they’ll last a very long time. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

I'm mostly giving the Fox and the Forest four stars on account of its infinitely charming artwork. The artwork on these cards is gorgeous. As for the actual game itself, I'd probably give it around three stars. It's a decent little trick taking game. I prefer some of the other trick taking games that Renegade has put out, such as Lotus (another gorgeous looking card game), but this is a nice little filler game for two players. For those not familiar with trick taking games, you'll immediately get the idea if you've ever played Hearts or Spades. Essentially, the lead player plays a card, and the following player has to play a card of that suit (if they have any of that suit), and the rulebook contains a guide to determine the winner of that trick. The winner of the trick, leads for the next trick, and gameplay continues from that point on. Points are determined based on how many tricks you won, but the challenge is in planning for yourself to lose just enough of the tricks, because winning too many tricks will alot you zero points. Fox and the Forest has a few features that makes it unique, namely the special powers on all odd numbered cards, which will keep you on your toes throughout. This will make for an excellent addition to your collection, if all you're looking for is an inexpensive filler game designed specifically for two people. My wife and I have had plenty of fun with it so far.

Got this as a gift for my sister and her husband. They love it! Great mix of fun and strategy. And the artwork is beautiful. Perfect two player game.

Has become a staple for 2 player in our home. If you enjoy trick taking card games, get this lightweight one. It's a little eccentric, but also very fun to play. And that's hard to accomplish for any two player game.

First off, the artwork on these cards is absolutely gorgeous. However, the game itself is not all that fun. The rules are simple enough, but the game takes a bit of strategy. The game plays similar to euchre, but you don't want to win all the hands. Additionally, winning no hands also rewards players with the maximum points, which seems weird. After a month, we have only played this game once. It plays fast, and can be finished in about 10 mims. I would reccomend this game for someone who enjoys complicated trick taking games, but its not a great way to pass the time in my opinion

This is a great game for two people. Easy to learn, easy to play, incorporates interesting strategy

勝ちすぎたらダメ、カード全11種中6種が手札と切り札を交換、負けてもリードになるといった効果が書かれた二人用トリックテイキングゲームです。 内容物はとても簡素でルールブックとなるテキスト(数ページ)とカード40枚程、得点チップのみ。 全文英語ですがトリック数とスコアの早見表がついていて、あとはカードの効果を手書きで横に置いておけばそこまで言語で苦しむことは無いと思います。 勝ちすぎず負けすぎずを狙うのか、最初からずっと負け続けるのかを判断しつつプレイするのはなかなかに楽しくておすすめです。

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.

So, Jaipur and Patchwork move over, there is a new sheriff in town. We're 50 games in, and still feel like we just scratched the surface on the possibilities this game has to offer. Just get it already!

Not many good little two player games out there. This is one. Quick to learn, has surprising depth, but is also quick to play. Enjoyable :)

Excellent game for 2. Took on holiday and kept us amused. We are in our 70's. Also borrowed for holiday by our daughter and son-in-law. They thoroughly enjoyed it too. Easy to learn. Doesn't take too long to play. Strategy needed...keeps you thinking!
