Reforest is a card game in which players compete to create the healthiest forest ecosystem by assembling a tableau of plants, each with unique properties and abilities.

On your turn, you choose one of two actions. You can collect plants by drawing two cards from the draw pile or from the open plant market. You can also play a plant by adding a plant card to your tableau in one of the allowed height categories (low, medium or high areas). You pay the cost of cards by discarding other plants from your hand as nutrients. Because space is limited, taller plants can be placed over pioneer species.

Each new plant earns points and contributes to a growing ecosystem of interconnected skills. At the end of each round, when the draw pile is empty, the player whose plants best match an animal visitor's preferences ( such as the most flowers or fruits ) receives an animal card.

The game ends when all animals have found a home. The players' forests are then scored and the player with the most points wins.
