Linwood is the board game…..without a board! Right from your first step, you decide how the land of Linwood will unravel. Will you rush off in pursuit of the hidden element stones, or patiently wait as others find themselves lost in a dark and unfamiliar forest?

From the starting tile, players expand the forest area, known as Linwood, in search of the four element stones. Each stone has a unique ability which players can use within Linwood. The aim of the game is to be the first player to collect all four element stones and return them to the starting tile.

Each game includes: One illustrated instruction booklet. Sixty hexagonal tiles, including: One starting tile, four element stone tiles, four tunnels and fifty one various forest and river tiles. Three dice (two white, one black). Six coloured pawns. One black pawn (the Forest Bandit). Twenty four element stone cards. Two ability reminder cards.

Linwood is recommended for ages 8 and above. Each game takes approximately 30 minutes, and can be played by 2-6 players. Linwood allows for a good balance of skill and luck. While there is room for strategy and advanced thinking, the game play is still simple enough for a child to pick up in a matter of minutes.
