Our take on The Fox in the Forest
The two-player format keeps the contest focused, but it rules out larger tables and group play. Its short, repeated rounds also leave less room for a broader campaign structure than games built around extended progression.
What is The Fox in the Forest?
The Fox in the Forest is a head-to-head card game for two participants.
During each round, both play 13 cards, using character powers to alter the action while trying to capture tricks. Scoring is based on the number of tricks taken, and victory goes to whoever finishes with the higher score. Character cards depict figures such as a woodcutter, swan, fox, and monarch. The game includes online matches against other players plus eight rule-modified challenges. Its fairy-tale setting centers on a woodcutter and his daughter living beside a forest populated by unusual characters and monsters.
