About the game
The forest never sleeps. It grows, changes, and requires constant adaptation from those who manage it. Growing Forward expands Forestry with new asymmetric characters, additional harvesting and transport mechanics, and modules focused on infestation management and long-term planning. The expansion increases strategic variability through unique player abilities, asymmetric starts, and new ways to optimize forest development and resource flow. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Forestry: Growing Forward supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Forestry: Growing Forward is 35–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Forestry: Growing Forward for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Forestry: Growing Forward belongs to these categories: Farming, Educational, and Industry / Manufacturing. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, End Game Bonuses, and Hexagon Grid. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Forestry: Growing Forward are: Michal Peichl. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Forestry: Growing Forward as an expansion for Forestry. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Forestry to use it. Check that your edition of Forestry is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
