Kodama Forest

Spring is here, and your forest is in full bloom! The enchanting kodama spirits only visit the most lush and gorgeous landscapes. Plant bamboo and flowers to draw in friendly pandas and butterflies and make your land even more beautiful. Plan smartly to fill both your forests with as many plants and animals as you can to win the favor of the colorful kodama. In Kodama Forest, players team up with neighbors to cover as much of the shared player boards as possible. Each round, place one tile on the board to your right and one on the board to your left. Uncovered dirt sections in the forests will result in penalties. The game ends when one board has covered all its “5” and “10” dirt spaces. Players score both shared boards, and the lowest combined score wins. The key to victory is finding the right balance between cooperation and competition.
