Beech Martin works best when you load up on trees and complete them with cards on each side <br />
<br />
Take care on the order of cards with bonuses - be prepared to play the bonuses in order to take best advantage of their ability to either generate further card play or deliver more cards (e.g., don't play a bonus card that allows you to play a Paw card if you don't have any Paw cards in hand). <br />
<br />
Play the mushrooms early - their power is in delivering additional cards *as you play trees* <br />
<br />
Timing on the Brown Bear is critical - play it when the clearing is full or nearly full. Don't waste it on a sparse (3 or fewer cards) clearing. <br />
<br />
Strawberries and Oak Trees have the same effect -- play both of them for double the effect. <br />
<br />
Wolf and hoof are big shots. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Making 20 trees + berries also a way to go<br />
<br />
Easy to forget Rules:<br />
<br />
* The “free play a type of creature” bonus does not trigger additional bonuses or effects<br />
* The "Draw card" effect only draws from the deck (not the clearing)<br />
* A card is added to the clearing only when a tree/sapling is played (not a split card) <br />
<br />
<br />
There are 8 types of tree:<br />
<br />
* Sycamore <br />
* Birch <br />
* Beech <br />
* Douglas Fir <br />
* Oak <br />
* Horse Chestnut <br />
* Linden <br />
* Silver Fir</div>Yashuregirl
