The Fantastic Forest

Toad for reed, owl for apples

Players are asked to embody animals of the forest and must cooperate to save the old magician by brewing a magic potion for him which must be ready before the sun sets.

There are five ingredients each for the three categories Water, Trees and Earth. Players choose the degree of difficulty by choosing to use six, eight or ten ingredients for the potion and turn up a random page of the recipe book within the chosen category.

If you place the recipe book under a strong light source and then turn off the lights the recipe becomes visible by starting to glow, all players look at it together till the ingredients fade out again. If you play during the day you use the green side of the recipes.

Players together distribute the ingredients on the board. Then the players move through the magic forest to collect the ingredients. Each chooses either toad, rabbit or owl, each animal only uses squares of one color and can only find ingredients from one category. All animals start at the magic cauldron and are moved by rolling a die. When the imp is rolled, an ingredient must be relocated, when the Mage appears players may change into another animal. TO do so they throw the magic chip, when the Wand appears the change was successful.

At the end of a round the sun is moved forward one position. When all ingredients are in the cauldron before sunset, all players have won together.

Wunderwald is an enchanting cooperative with first strategic consideration on how to work together efficiently. The glow effect of the recipes is especially fascinating.
