Read the full game description
Iron Forest is a team-based tactical dexterity game set in a mechanical woodland. Players command animal-clan mecha or the invading Iron Force, draw activation cards, and launch or flick their machines across a two-level board. Scenario objectives shift the battle between control, destruction, and collection, while power-ups and asymmetric unit abilities reward clever angles as much as steady hands. The English Kickstarter edition also includes a dedicated solo mini-expansion for players who want to tackle the forest alone.
