📖 About This Game
In Forest Leader, five animal clans — Fox, Rabbit, Badger, Bear, and Deer — compete for the throne of the forest. Each turn, you play cards to influence the Council of Chiefs and your Tribes.
On your turn, perform the following actions:
• Draw : Take 3 cards from the draw pile
or the 3 visible cards in the river.
• Play : Place 2 cards from your hand into two
different zones:
• The Council of Chiefs,
• The left Tribe,
• The right Tribe.
Cards are placed in visible columns by clan.
• Discard : Place one card in the river.
If the river exceeds 3 cards, remove the oldest card.
The Council of Chiefs determines the points each clan will bring you. Your goal is to accumulate the most points by having the most prestigious clans in your tribes.
