Read the full game description
Forage is a cozy tableau-building roll-and-write about gathering plants, berries, and mushrooms in the Pacific Northwest. Each round rolls a shared set of custom dice and reveals a journey tile. Players simultaneously choose groups for exploring trails, stocking pantry jars, or completing gifts, then spend earned time to improve actions and trigger extra moves. A new dry-erase card joins each tableau every round, so the puzzle expands as goals and scoring routes change. More than ninety unique cards and varied journey tiles make each woodland trip develop differently.
