Forestry

In Forestry, players step into the role of forest stewards committed to sustainable management. The game challenges them to balance resource harvesting, contract fulfillment, and conservation, with every action affecting the forest’s long-term health. Players make responsible decisions, from planting trees to adjusting water streams for better moisture retention. With insights from real-world foresters, Forestry offers an engaging and educational look into their work.

Forestry combines familiar mechanics with a fresh twist, using two worker types: harvester and manager. Players strategically assign tasks with action points to balance forest health and sustainable wood production. This medium-weight Euro game provides opportunities to interact with the world of sustainable forestry in an engaging manner.

• Central mechanic involves a “dual worker system” where players manage a harvester (moving on the forest map) and a sawmill manager (handles contracts and wood processing).
• The game’s theme revolves around balancing forest care with the harvesting of wood to create various wooden products.
• Strategic depth, decision-making, and complex rules interactions, appealing to players who enjoy more intricate gameplay.
