Game review here.

In "Living Forest", you play as a nature spirit trying to save the forest and its Sacred Tree from Onibi's flames. In each turn, you will gain new cards with forest defenders who will help you achieve your goal. This can be done in three ways: by planting 12 protective trees, collecting 12 sacred blossoms to awaken the great forest guardian Sanki, or extinguishing 12 flames to banish Onibi forever.

Game overview/Gameplay

Each round has 3 phases:

• Summoning Defenders (players play simultaneously): players one by one draw and reveal defender cards from their personal supply piles.
• Performing Actions: players one by one perform 2 different actions (planting protective trees, attracting additional defenders, extinguishing flames, and others).
• End of Round: Onibi attacks players and the Sacred Tree, and new defenders arrive.

The game ends when one player has managed to obtain at least 12 protective trees OR 12 flames OR 12 sacred blossoms.
