More to explore with Forest Shuffle: Alpine expansion

Dear players, starting with today, there is more to explore in Forest Shuffle: Alpine!

With Forest Shuffle: Alpine, we are introducing the very first expansion we're shuffling 36 brand new cards into the deck:
The mountain forest in the Alps is home to numerous animals, plants and fungi right up to the tree line. Gentians, eagles, marmots, chamois, Swiss stone pines - their habitats are different, but here too, there are synergies and valuable partnerships that score you points.

The expansion fits seamlessly into the basic game, the rules are familiar. Two new tree species and numerous Alpine species provide even more diversity and plenty of variety at your game table: the mountain hare is a loner, but is counted as part of your population of hares. Gentian and butterflies make an excellent team, and the bearded vulture will drag more
points into your cave. But - just take a look for yourself!

In Europe, the first copies will go on sale in mid-April, overseas and Asia can expect them 6-8 weeks later due to transportation.

However, you already have the opportunity to experience this expansion on Board Game Arena starting with 10:00 a.m. (CET) TODAY!

We are already looking forward to your feedback! The Lookout team

Special thanks go out to @firgon for the development and all the players of our test group for their tireless efforts!

Great, thanks a lot for offering the expansion on BGA :) I'm glad I will play and explore it more than I do there's few months ;)

Though currently, the game can't be launched. Sounds you need "more" time to put it online or that you had difficulties just before the update status. We will keep waiting :) Tic tac tic tac.. I'm so excited !

As usual, finding a proper time slot for a relaunch of an game which is already running on this platform is not easy:
we had to stop creation of new tables and give players the opportunity to finish their live games.
Don't want to spoil your gaming experience with hickups. :)

As with noon, service is back to normal. Have fun playing!

i really like the new expansion. Forest Shuffle is the only game i played on BGA that i allready played in real life and with the expansion, there are so much more new strategys that you can play because of these new cards. i hope they will make more expansions for other regions like Rainforest or Savannah ;)

Is there a list of these new cards and how each one works, somewhere?

I like the new cards. It makes the game more flexible and not so deer focused.
