The forests of Europe have always been a balance between wild nature and human craft. Forestry turns that tension into a medium-weight euro game where you play as a modern forester — harvesting wood, producing valuable goods, and caring for the forest so it can thrive for generations to come. Designed by Michal Peichl and published by Pink Troubadour. Over ten rounds (nine in the advanced game), you'll manage two distinct workers on a shared board: a harvester moving through the forest across hex spaces of different tree species — pine, birch, spruce, oak, and beech — and a sawmill manager handling production at your personal player board. Every action costs action points, and balancing your available actions with the demands of the forest is the game's central challenge. How to Play At the start of each round, a round token applies a shared effect that shifts the board state for everyone. Then, in turn order, you spend action points to harvest trees, process wood at the sawmill, fulfil contracts, and develop your capabilities. Upgrading your personal board expands your action economy, letting you do more each round — but the forest's health matters too. Over-harvest and you'll struggle; manage responsibly and your ecosystem pays dividends. Two worker types create a satisfying dual-track rhythm: the harvester deals with nature, terrain, and rivers; the sawmill manager handles production chains and contract fulfilment. It's a game with real-world educational depth, developed in consultation with professional foresters.
