Details

The forest is ominously quiet. When the hunt begins, it suddenly bustles with activity. One player is looking for trees with his lumberjacks and with his hunters for ducks, pheasants, foxes and bears. The other player is looking for ducks and pheasants with his foxes, and with his bears for ... hunters and woodcutters! The game board represents a piece of a forest. Small square cards are randomly placed face down on 48 of the 49 spaces (middle box remains open). The cards show bears, foxes, lumberjacks, hunters, ducks, pheasants and trees. One player takes on the role of the woodcutters and the hunters and the other player works with the bears and the foxes. The problem, however, is that at the outset no one knows where which animal or character is hidden in the forest. Whoever has a turn turns over any card. The next too. At some point, e.g. a fox and a duck adjacent to each other. The player who is allowed to move the foxes can now move the fox on the duck and thus 'hit' the duck (in fact eat it ...). In this way holes are created in the forest along which the figures can possibly move. With regard to hitting, the following agreements apply: the hunter strikes all animals but must look in the right direction with his gun; the bear beats the woodcutters and the hunters; finally the fox beats pheasants and ducks. Each animal or character is worth a certain number of points. You have to play this game twice in a row, with the players changing roles. Whoever in the end obtains the most points wins the game. Number of players: 2 Age: from 8 years old Playing time: approx. 2 x 20 minutes Content: - game board - 48 tiles - game rules
