Tiny Woodys (2023)

About this game

In Tiny Woodys, you secretly play a certain animal role, which is assigned randomly and face down at the beginning. This can be a squirrel, a wild boar, a hedgehog, a bunny, a magpie, or an owl. Each animal is looking for something specific and must try to be faster than the others. In each of the four seasons, hide the cute little "Woodys" such as leaves, mushrooms, minerals, trees, herbs, and tree fruits. For example, if you got the magpie, you have to try to find four different minerals. However, always try to keep your identity secret from the others! Strategically and cleverly place your cards on your collection spot and use the extra powers on the Woody cards to get to your goal. But be careful as fierce weather and mean fellow players will put obstacles in your way. Who is who? And what are they collecting? The game remains exciting until the end, and you will soon find out. The winner is the player who completes their task first! Tiny Woodys is normally for 2-5 players, but in expert mode it's playable with up to six players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
