Advent at Lookout
THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS IN RETAIL!
In October you had the chance to play our latest game Treos at Spiel in Essen. It seems that Sophie, Urs and the other heroes of Treos took a little detour from there to the shops. But now they have arrived!
TREOS is now available at your FLGS!
And what about Forest Shuffle? We're very pleased that Forest Shuffle is still gaining fans more than a year after its release. Despite regular reprints, most retailers are currently out of stock. But we've got good news! The latest print runs of the base game and the first expansion Forest Shuffle: Alpine are printed and on their way to you.
If Santa arrives late at your FLGS, our retailers will be happy to take your pre-orders. That way, you'll be able to put the first forests on your table in the early days of the new year.
TIME FOR A BREAK!
After a gaming year full of events it's getting quiet here at Lookout. We'll be taking a short winter break to relax, recharge our batteries and, surely, play a few rounds with our loved ones.
We will therefore be unavailable from the 16th of December 2024 until the 6th of January 2025.
The year 2025 will bring many highlights. We're looking forward to it. Until then, we wish you relaxing holidays and a good start to the new year!

FIVE NEW LOOKOUT GAMES ON BOARD GAME ARENA
Board Game Arena is a wonderful alternative if your favorite board game circle is not available at the moment. Our Lookout team, spread across three countries, also meets regularly around the digital gaming table. Over the past few months, several of our games have contributed to the wide range of games available on BGA:
- Before hitting the markets, Treos , our autumn release, invited you on an adventure.
- The award-winning Forest Shuffle got its second expansion Forest Shuffle: Woodland Edge.
- The Mandala series has been expanded with Flowers: a Mandala game . This entry is now for up to 4 players.
- The Lookout classic Neom now also lets you prove your knack for urban architecture online.
- And with Piepmatz another classic joins the feeder… ahem… platform ;-)
See you at the virtual gaming table!
PS: Even if it's not new on BGA, it's worth taking a look at Patchwork . You can now also choose its beautiful birthday robe as a design.

Announcement: Forest Shuffle card replacement service
UPDATE
We got made aware that a small amount of affected Forest Shuffle base games slipped through the re-call in UK and were sold at UK Games Expo . We are sorry that we didn't catch this earlier and updated the Forest Shuffle Card Exchange page accordingly.
The last print of Forest Shuffle is slightly off color on the back of the cards. Not a problem as long as you only play the base game, but mixing it with the cards from the Forest Shuffle: Alpine expansion and the color mismatch gets obvious.
Luckily, we were able to stop most deliveries of the affected games before they reached retailers and got sold to you. However, there are some countries (Germany, France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) where affected games have already been sold.
We wanted to give customers from these countries an easy and simple solution to get new cards if needed. Please note that the service differs, depending on the country you bought your game in. To find out if your game is affected and how to request your replacement cards, please go to this page:
Everybody is working hard to exchange your cards as quickly as possible. Please understand that shipping out the new cards might take some time, depending on the number of requests we receive. Thank you for your patience!
