Description

Backwoods drops you into the unforgiving American West of 2021, where you and up to three friends must navigate the dangers of the wilderness. As a cooperative game, you'll work together to explore, forage, craft, and fight your way out of the treacherous terrain, relying on each other's skills to survive. With a playtime of 60 to 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the adventure, but be warned: the clock is ticking, and the longer you take, the more perilous your journey becomes. As you journey through the grid-based world, you'll encounter countless challenges that require careful resource management and strategic decision-making. With mechanics like deck, bag, and pool building, dice rolling, and push your luck, every choice you make will have a direct impact on your chances of survival. Will you play it safe or take a risk to achieve your goals? The game's normal complexity makes it easy for experienced board game players to jump in, but be prepared for a thrilling adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With its rich theme and engaging gameplay, Backwoods is the perfect game for anyone looking for a fun and challenging cooperative experience.
