About the game
Deep within the whispering woods, a bustling community is coming to life. In Fox Grove, you are trying to build the most prosperous little animal village in the forest. Over the course of 4 rounds, you must skillfully manage your hand of cards and your resources to outshine your rivals. At its heart, Fox Grove is a unique blend of mechanics. Each round begins with a trick-taking phase where playing the right cards is key to gather essential resources. However, veteran card players should stay on their toes: there is a twist in the trick-taking rules that will force you to rethink your standard strategies and adapt to the changing rhythm of the forest. Using the resources gathered from your tricks, you will expand your personal tableau. Expand your Village: Turn resources into buildings to generate Victory Points. Unlock Abilities: Gain special skills that provide powerful advantages in future rounds. Whether you are a seasoned gamer or new to the hobby, Fox Grove welcomes you. The game features a dedicated Introductory Mode, designed to offer an easy entry point for families and beginners before diving into the full strategic depth of the standard game. After four rounds, the player with the most magnificent village and the most Victory Points wins the game! —description from the publisher
