Help your animal friends prepare for winter..
Autumn is coming to an end, and the animals of Savernake Forest are preparing for winter, gathering and storing food they will need to survive until spring. If you want to win, build your forest, fill it with animals, and make sure they store their favorite foods.
Game rules:
In the game Savernake Forest, foxes, hedgehogs, beavers, owls, rabbits, woodpeckers, wildcats... Up to 23 different animal species live together. At the end of autumn, they all prepare to spend the winter with enough provisions, and you are here to give them a helping hand... or paw! To play, you have two decks of square cards, one showing animals and the other forest paths filled with food.
Each player randomly receives an animal card, indicating the amount of food it can store and its preferences. For example, the fox likes eggs, but not berries or nuts. To get the best score, you must try to ensure that each animal collects its favorite foods.
Throughout the game, players will benefit from the help of a few animals, depending on the card they choose from the central market. The rooster will help you get up early so you can be the first to choose a card in the next round. The armadillo teaches you how to dig better shelters to store more food, so you can take a burrow token and add it to one of your animal cards to increase that animal's storage capacity by 1. The goat teaches you how to hydrate better, offering a water drop token that can be associated with a food and increase its value by 1. Finally, the rabbit helps you attract new animals to your forest.
The game ends when all players have completed their 4x4 forest (16 cards). Each player checks if there are two animals sharing the same path, in which case you must choose one of the two for scoring and discard the other (it is not scored). Now, flip the board to the scoring side. Count each of your animals and add up the points. Use your marker to record your points on the board for each animal. Don't forget the points given by the animals simply for their presence in your forest!
