This is where players determine their initial strategy and appetite for risk. Then play begins.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn your turn, you roll the sun die, and BOTH players generate trees for spaces they have grown tall enough to capture the sun. Then you roll the wind die, determining which directions you can grow outward in. The active player then plants their trees, balancing between growing existing spaces UP with more trees, or expanding OUTWARD from their forests, following the wind. This is the core crux of tough decision making and strategy comes in - balancing future investment with rapid expansion.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlay continues until all spaces are claimed, and the player with the most spaces is crowned the winner!\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAges 10+\n2 players\n30 minute play time\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Game Board Tiles\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e240 Wooden Tree Meeples\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Wind Die\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Sun Die\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Water Tiles\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Drawstring Bags\n\u003c\/p\u003e1 Rulebook\n","brand":"Red Raccoon Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55031773790507,"sku":"LVGASPSEEN01","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/4991\/4155\/files\/Aspens-Kickstarter-Standa_b8fb40720d.jpg?v=1787054338","url":"https:\/\/redraccoongames.com\/products\/aspens-kickstarter-standard-edition","provider":"Red Raccoon Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
