Fox Grove (ML)

As the first days of autumn settle over Fox Grove, the forest comes alive: foxes, owls, squirrels and birds are getting ready for winter by building their village along the river. In this trick-taking card game, you play one of these ambitious woodland dwellers gathering wood, nuts and maple leaves to fill three forest houses and grow your animal village. Each round opens with a classic trick-taking phase, but seasoned card players beware: a twist in the rules shakes up the usual habits and forces you to rethink your strategy every round. The resources you gather through smart resource management let you expand your village, unlock special abilities and rack up victory points before the fourth and final round ends. Thanks to its built-in introductory mode for beginners, Fox Grove welcomes families and seasoned trick-taking fans alike, making it a family board game built to feel fresh every time you play.

Fox Grove is for you if you love trick-taking card games that keep everyone on their toes, if charming animal worlds are right up your alley, and if you're after a board game quick enough for a family night or a game night with friends, without giving up strategic depth.

Released in 2026, Fox Grove delivers a real twist on its trick-taking mechanism: the usual rule that decides who wins each trick gets shaken up partway through the game, a twist that keeps even seasoned players on guard until the very last card.

Fox Grove is designed by German game designer Frank Thyben, also behind Orcs Orcs Orcs, another favorite among fans of card and strategy games. The warm, lively illustrations that give the forest of Fox Grove its charm are the work of Patricia Limberger. The game is published by Queen Games.
