Sequoia

The push-your-luck tension from Can't Stop works perfectly here – I loved deciding when to stop rolling and claim a forest for points.

The 10-turn limit keeps every game tight and tense, and fighting over the tallest tree in 11 forests means there's always one more move you wish you had. Taught my group in about five minutes and nobody checked their phone once.

I've played it three times this week and the 10-turn limit keeps every game tight — you're always one bad draw from losing a forest you'd been building. Watching someone else snag the tallest tree in a forest you've been nursing all game stings in the best way.
