Overview

Spirits of the Forest is a game where you embody the elemental forces nurturing an ancient woodland. Each turn, you'll carefully select spirit tiles from a central forest, aiming to collect sets of matching spirits. The forest is constantly changing, with new opportunities arising as other players draft tiles. You also gather favor tokens, which provide strategic advantages like manipulating gemstones scattered across the tiles. These gemstones can be moved or recovered to further optimize your collection and deny points to your opponents.

The core of the game lies in balancing your pursuit of particular spirit types with the need to disrupt your opponents' plans. You are trying to obtain the majority of each spirit type to score nature points. Every tile you take has implications, not only for your own score but also for what remains available to others. It's a delicate dance of calculated risk and opportunistic acquisition, all within a short and satisfying play time. Successfully navigating this interplay of set collection and spatial maneuvering allows you to emerge as the dominant force, your element most attuned to the spirit of the forest.
