The aim of the game is to win tricks, meaning that both you and your opponent will play one card and you want your card to be the winning one. The Fox in The Forest consists of 33 cards split into three suits and numbered one to 11. Typical trick-taking mechanisms only allow for three players plus, so as a board gaming couple, The Fox in the Forest jumped up our list of games to play, with a lot of high praise from other reviewers. We’ve been slowly exploring the world of trick-taking games recently and The Fox in the Forest is somewhat unique, in that it is a two-player only game.
Its theme is based on an original fairy tale by Alana Joli Abbott – a theme that leads to beautiful artwork of fairy tale characters and woodland creatures. The Fox in the Forest is a two-player trick-taking game from Foxtrot Games and Renegade Games Studios, with designer Joshua Buergel. The choice, then, is this: are you playing to win, or playing to lose? No matter which you choose – can you perfect your strategy? The winner is the first person to 21 points, though if you are short on time, a 16-point target works equally well. However, you mustn’t get too greedy, winning 10 or more tricks will score you no points at all, handing the other player all 6 points. The artwork on the cards is beautiful featuring foxes, monarchs, and swans to name a few.Įach round starts with both players being dealt 13 cards and one card from the deck being upturned and declared the trump suit for that round – but be careful – playing a 3 enables you to change that suit, so keep an eye on what your opponent is up to! The object of the game is to win a certain number of tricks – winning 0-3 or 7-9 out of 13 total tricks will score you maximum points, with varying points for winning 4, 5, and 6 tricks, giving them game an interesting strategy twist. The 6 odd-numbered cards all have different benefits, you can gain extra points for playing a 7, or force players into losing a good card by playing an 11. The deck has 33 cards divided into 3 unique, and eye-catching suits, bells, keys, and moons, numbered 1 to 11. Can you find the right balance to become victorious? Each player tries to outsmart the other, whilst themselves attempting not to get caught out.
It combines strategy, hand management and just a little bit of guesswork. The Fox in the Forest is a two-player trick-taking game with a unique twist on the status quo.
