The Fox in the Forest Duet

Embark on a whimsical adventure with The Fox in the Forest Duet, an enchanting two-player cooperative trick-taking game! Team up with your partner to traverse a magical forest and gather all the precious gems before time runs out. Every move and strategy is crucial for success!

Getting started is a breeze! Simply set up the game by placing gem tokens on their designated spots around the board. Position the team tracker token at the center of the movement path to begin your journey. Shuffle the deck of thirty beautifully illustrated cards, featuring three suits numbered 1-10, and deal eleven cards to each player. To establish the trump suit for the round, reveal a decree card.

In each trick, one player leads with a card while the other follows suit if possible. The player who wins the trick advances the team tracker based on the fox footprints on the played cards. Land on an adjacent gem space to collect a gem! But beware—if the tracker reaches the end of the path, it resets to the center, and a forest token is added, limiting your movement options.

Strategize using special abilities from odd-numbered character cards! These powers allow the trick winner to move the tracker in their preferred direction or disregard footprints from one played card, ensuring a perfect landing. Plus, players can exchange cards or change the decree card by utilizing unique character abilities, adding even more tactical depth!

At the end of each round, face fresh challenges: five new gems are placed on the board, and a new forest space appears, further restricting movement. Players are dealt another set of eleven cards from a newly shuffled deck.

Your ultimate goal? Collect all 22 gem tokens to claim victory! But tread carefully—if time runs out or the tracker tumbles off the path without available forest spaces, you'll need to decide whether to push forward or reset and start your adventure anew.

Join the magical escapade of The Fox in the Forest Duet, where teamwork, strategy, and a sprinkle of enchantment combine for an unforgettable gaming experience!
