Forest Spirit

1–4 players · 25 min · 8+

The forest is on fire and its inhabitants are in danger… Play as Forest, the Spirit of the Forest, and guide the animals to the exit by cleverly orchestrating their movements. To save them from the fire ravaging the forest, you will need to successfully align and combine animals. Will you be able to save them all?

—description from the publisher

Players take turns controlling the Forest Spirit and the animals, who all have a specific movement pattern, to move across a 5x5 grid or flip a tile in order to align tiles with the same species on them. Any alignment of 3 to 5 similar tiles will allow to remove some of them from the grid and score victory points.

Each time an Animal tile is removed from the grid, a Flame tile is added, that must be aligned as well in order to be flipped and reveal other animals to rescue. Once the pile of Flame tiles runs out, the game ends and the player who earned the most victory points by rescuing animals wins the game.
