Into the Forest

Into the Forest. Step into teh forest and discover the fscinating world of natural food chains. This unique card game is great fun for children and adults.

Cards represent animals and plants that are found in the forest. Each card list what the animal eats and what it is eaten by. The game works just like the natural food relationships in the forest. With players eating and being eaten. Just as they would be in the wild.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Rules of the Game. As life in the forest continues on and on, so does this game. It must be timed for play to be ended. Use your watch, clock, egg timer or stopwatch to keep time.

Timing. There are two different ways of timing the game. Choose one or the other before each game. 1 Timed Rounds. Play 3 or 4 rounds of 20 minutes each. After each round, record each player’s score. After all rounds have been played, the player with the most points wins.

2 Long Version. Set your timer for 45 minutes. The player with the most points at the end of that time wins.

To start. Deal out all the cards. Because there are 41 cards in the deck some players will get one less card than others. These players will be awarded 5 extra energy points at the beginning of the game or round.

The first player starts by asking any other player for a Showdown.

To continue play. Players may ask each other for either Showdown or a Challenge.
