Living Forest received the Ace d’Or for gaming at the Cannes Film Festival (for gaming) in the “Initiated” category. It is therefore a game in which we start from 10 years old with a maximum of 3 other players around the table.
The “Initiate” Amaury Lesage-Jarry, toy librarian at Planète jeux in Thouars, loves the very animist spirit of this game and the beauty of the representations by a Frenchwoman: Appoline Etienne, enchanted him. Enchantment is indeed at hand in this game where you will have to ally with the Guardian animals and instill light, water and tree seeds to escape the sinister Onibiwho is an arsonist hating the beauty of nature.
Amaury tells us that it takes 45 minutes to an hour to play a good game. He notes that
recently an expansion for solo play was released.
Living Forest is around 35 euros.
