SAVERNAKE FOREST was an impulse buy in Cardiff. The designer, Rodrigo Rego, was also designer of DEAD & BREAKFAST, one of our favorite hidden-gem games. The forest it's named after is in Wiltshire, about 25 miles away from Stonehenge -- so it's related to our trip!

Anyway, it's a light tile-placement game where you play cards into a 4x4 grid: cards show either an animal in its den, or a path with food items (acorns, worms, eggs) on it. You're trying to place the paths so that each animal gets the food it likes best, which earns you points. Very simple rules and cute art make it a good filler game in a small box. (2/n)
