Leaf is from Weird City Games located here in Portland who also did Canopy, a rainforest-themed card game. Leaf is a tile laying and set collection game where you are managing the forest floor. The object is to score the most points by growing groups of mushrooms, collecting groups of animals, and by advancing your squirrel as high as possible on a tree. – – 1 to 4 players – – 30 to 45 minutes
The central game area is made up of a leaf board consisting of five piles of different shaped leaf tiles in five different colors, an animal board for displaying available animal cards and topped with a sun track for tracking game progression, a common tree for each player’s squirrel to climb, and a common area deemed the forest floor containing two starting leaf tiles. Each turn a player selects a card from their hand to play. They will discard the card and take the matching leaf tile from the leaf board and place it in the forest floor of leaf tiles. When placed, the tile will trigger an action for each tip that contacts the tip of an adjacent leaf. There are five different actions that can be taken depending on the color of the leaf tile touched. The mushroom action (red) allows a player to start and grow mushrooms. The animal action (orange) allows a player to select animal cards from the animal board. The sun action (yellow) grants sun tokens which gain movement along the track and can gain bonuses. The tree action (brown) moves a player’s squirrel up the tree gaining resources that allow for extra actions. The leaf action (green) gains a player additional leaf cards for their hand – you do not want to run out of leaf cards. Game end is triggered when a player gets to the end of the sun track or when several piles of leaf tiles have been depleted. The player who manages the forest floor the best will be the winner of Leaf.
