Meeple Nation Gaming Highlights (Highlight-Thirty)

• Nathan

Sequoia

• Sequoia is a quick, light dice-rolling and area majority game where players compete to grow the tallest trees in 11 different "forests."

• Objective: Have the tallest tree (most tree tokens) in as many forests as possible to score victory points.

• Over 10 turns, all players simultaneously roll five dice. They then secretly form two pairs from four of those dice (leaving one die unused). The sum of each pair determines which "forest" (numbered 2-12) they can place a tree token in.

• Strategy: You have to decide whether to focus on a few forests to dominate them, or spread your efforts to secure second-place consolation prizes.

• After 10 turns, the player with the most trees in a forest gets the first-place points, and the second-place player gets a smaller consolation prize. Ties are resolved with special tie-breaker rounds.

• Quick and Portable: Sequoia is known for its fast gameplay (around 10-15 minutes) and small box size, making it easy to bring to game nights.
