Living Forest Duel

In Living Forest Duel, two players face off as the spirits of Summer and Winter, each striving to save the sacred forest and be recognized as its ultimate protector. Although their goals are similar, only one season will claim the honors.

Your goal? Be the first to achieve one of the four victory conditions:

• Plant a 3×3 rectangle of Guardian Tree cards in your Forest
• Have only cards of your season on the recruitment line
• Collect 8 Fire tokens
• Move the Onibi creature to your opponent's side once the Onibi card is in their possession.

The game is played in alternating turns. On each turn, choose one of the following options:

• Draw 1 guardian animal card from the shared draw pile and add it to the shared help line
• Use 1 action token on 1 guardian animal card in the shared help line

• Draw a guardian animal card
Draw a card from the shared draw pile and place it face up on one of the three help lines:

• the shared help line if it’s a neutral animal
• your help line if it’s an animal of your season
• your opponent’s help line if it’s an animal of their season

Each animal provides elements that you can use later with one of your two Action tokens.

Be careful: revealing too many solitary animals can be detrimental. After 3 solitary symbols, you lose an Action token, which will significantly reduce your ability to act.
