The Swedish forest is full of beautiful plants, exciting animals and strange fungi. But for them to live and thrive, you need to create the right habitat. In the ambitious family game Skogen ("The Forest"), developed over many years by experienced biologist Daniel Thorell, it's your job to fill the forest with life by alternating species and element tiles on the board. The game is an eye opener for the diversity of species and environments that surround us (and we promise: a much more fun than the dusty encyclopedia found in your grandparents attic). Place old trees, meadows and other elements to makes your woods flourish - the player creates the best forest wins. Or to put it in other words, you reap what you sow! —description from the publisher
