Black Forest

Unleash Your Inner Architect in the Black Forest

Imagine this: You’re standing at the edge of a vast, untamed domain, with the potential to transform it into a thriving, resource-rich estate. In Black Forest, that dream becomes reality. You start small, with just a few modest resources and a desire to expand. But how will you grow? Will you master the art of glass production, or perhaps harness the power of strategic landscape placement?

Build, Expand, and Dominate

In Black Forest, every decision counts. Your journey from one village to another will bring you face-to-face with skilled specialists, each offering unique abilities to help you gather resources, construct essential buildings, and lay out new landscapes like serene ponds and fertile fields. Whether you’re firing up your resource wheels or deciding which landscape tile to place, every action brings you closer to victory.

But it’s not just about building—it’s about building smart. Choose from four types of buildings: those that give you an immediate boost, processing structures that keep on giving, or even bonus-giving buildings that reward your foresight in the endgame. With each turn, the choices grow more critical and the stakes higher. How will you ensure your domain stands out in this dense and competitive forest?

Strategic Depth with Endless Replayability

What makes Black Forest more than just another strategy game? It’s the legendary resource wheels, a hallmark of Uwe Rosenberg’s game design, which return from his earlier masterpiece, Glass Road. These wheels aren’t just a gimmick; they’re a symbol of the intricate balance and strategy that this game demands. With every spin, they push you to think ahead, plan carefully, and adapt swiftly.

And with a wide selection of buildings, each with different effects, the paths to victory are as varied as the landscape tiles you’ll place. Will you focus on rapid expansion, or will you build a carefully curated domain that maximizes your endgame bonuses? The choices are yours, and no two games will ever play out the same way.

A Worthy Addition to Any Collection

Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or new to the world of board games, Black Forest offers a rich, rewarding experience. The mix of resource management, worker placement, and building strategies make it a must-have for any collection. And with its ties to the beloved Glass Road, it’s sure to captivate anyone who enjoys a deep, thought-provoking game.

So, are you ready to claim your domain in the Black Forest and carve out your path to victory?
