Breathe deep. The enemies are all around you. Their sharp claws rake the air. They expect you to cower in fear. But you've been training for this all your life. Carry your weapon proudly as you stand into the circle, young one. The Forest Watch has now been set. We will not let them pass, n matter the cost... In this solo strategy card game, the player must fight the evil cat knights to avoid the destruction of the forest and its entire tribe. Player has 3 heroes that are fighting against 5 of 6 possible enemies. Each turn, the player chooses a Hero to battle. The chosen Hero is placed in the center of a half circle made of the Enemy cards. The Hero deals damage accordingly to its Battle Wheel, found at the top of its card. Then, the Enemies attack from left to right the Hero in the center and deal damage according to the number of Skulls on the Hero’s Battle Wheel. Each character has skills that are activated according to its remaining health. The player wins when all enemies are dead, even if all Heroes die to achieve it, and loses when not all enemies can be eliminated. Best Solitaire Game from the 2020 9 Card Game Print and Play Design Contest.
