Il était une forêt (2013)

About this game

This game will give you the power to become the architect of a primary forest. To win the game, you need to be the best strategist: your forest need to be the biggest and the least degraded by the Man. In particular, don't forget that fauna and flora need to remain in balance ... [based on the editor description] In concrete terms, you build complete trees, composed of 4 layers (roots in the soil, 2 levels of trunk, and the crown). Each layer can host only a limited number of animals. For example, with 4 trees, you try to have exactly 4 individuals of each species. [based on description on Ludigaume site]

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
