Forest Shuffle

1. Alone in the Forest
SETUP
You can play this solo variant with the base game, the Alpine
expansion, or with both expansions (Alpine and Woodland
Edge). In this variant, you play against Anna whose actions are
controlled by a deck of Automa cards.
Set up the game as normal, with the following changes:
• Return cards from the draw pile to the game box as you would
in a 2-player game:
FOREST SHUFFLE: takes you on three different
adventures in the forest.
Base Game 30 cards
Alpine 55 cards
Alpine + Woodland Edge 90 cards

• You need only one winter card, which you shuffle with the
last 10 cards of the draw pile.
• Draw 6 cards into your hand and place another 5 cards face
up into the clearing.
• Shuffle the 20 Automa cards and place them in a face-down
Automa deck.
• Choose a challenge and decide which level you want to aim
for in this game: bronze , silver , or gold .
This sets your goal and minimum score.
• You always take the first turn.
! Special case: When playing the Reforestation challenge with
both expansions, put a random Water Vole into your starting
hand before you remove cards from the draw pile. Then, when
drawing your starting hand, draw only 5 additional cards, for a
total of 6 cards in hand.

COURSE OF PLAYCOURSE OF PLAY
Carry out your turns as normal. On each of Anna’s turns, reveal
the top card of the Automa deck and carry out the action for
Anna:
Put the indicated number of cards from the draw
pile into the clearing. Always add cards to the right
of any cards in the clearing.
Return the indicated number of cards from
the clearing to the game box. The arrow
/ indicates from which direction
you must remove those cards. If there
are fewer cards in the clearing than Anna
needs to remove, remove as many cards as
possible.  
Look at the top card of the draw pile and return it to the
game box.

At the end of Anna’s turn, place the Automa card in an Automa
discard pile. If the Automa deck is empty at that point, shuffle the
Automa discard pile to form a new Automa deck.
Note: Regardless of whose turn it is, always close any
gaps in the clearing by moving the cards together, without
changing their order.
CHALLENGESCHALLENGES
You can play the challenges in any order. To complete a
challenge, you must meet both the goal and the previously set
minimum score (bronze, silver, gold) at the end of the game.
Example: To achieve bronze in the
Bat Forest challenge, there must
be 4 or more bats in your forest at
the end of the game, and you must
score at least 200 points in total. fflfifi fflflfi  ffl

END OF GAMEEND OF GAME
When the winter card is drawn, the game ends immediately
and you proceed to scoring. Total the points in your forest. Anna
does not collect any points! If you pass the challenge, you can
place it behind the corresponding divider card. This allows you
to save your progress for later games.
Example: You have fulfilled all the
requirements for bronze in the Bat
Forest challenge, so you place it
behind the bronze divider card.
Note the following adjustments for Lindens and Great Spotted
Woodpeckers when scoring:
• To score 3 points per Linden, you need to have at least
3 Lindens in your forest.
• To score 10 points for the Great Spotted Woodpecker,
you need to have at least 10 trees in your forest. fflfifi fflflfi  ffl

In this variant, replace the base game caves with the special
caves from this expansion.
After you deal 6 cards to everyone, place the 5 cave cards in the
center of the table. In reverse playing order, choose one cave
each and place it in front of you. If caves remain after every
player has chosen one, return the rest to the game box.
Each special cave still scores 1 for each card that is in that
cave at the end of the game. In addition, they either give you
more points or a permanent effect that lasts for the duration
of the game.
The impact of the special caves is not represented in the
point values of the solo mode challenges. Using a cave in
solo mode is not forbidden, but will lead to higher scores.

Collectors’ Cave: Each card in your cave scores
2 instead of 1 .
Bat Cave: Each bat in your forest scores an
additional 3 , even if you do not have
3 different bats.
Lonely Cave: If there is no card in your cave at
game end, you score 5 . Otherwise, score the
normal 1 per card in your cave.
Storage Cave: Once per turn, when you place at
least one card in this cave, immediately draw a
card from the draw pile.
Smugglers’ Cave: Each time you trigger a
bonus, place one of the paid cards in this cave. flffl ffl fl

SETUPSETUP
You can use any or all new and rare cards in any combination
of the base game and its expansions. When preparing the
game, shuffle the new and rare cards you would
like to include with the other cards. Then
return the required number of cards to the
game box (based on player count) plus one
card per new and rare card used.
For an even distribution, instead deal 2 random new and rare
cards to everyone at the start of the game. Consequently, you
start with 8 cards in your hands.

CLARIFICATIONSCLARIFICATIONS
Play the game according to the base game rules. Note the
following clarifications:
Brimstone: Only if you play with all three expansions, you will
have the chance to see 8 different butterflies in play.
Fire Salamander: Even with 4 Fire Salamanders in your forest,
you still get only 25 points in total.
Marsh Cinquefoil: The and symbols have no effect.
Mistletoe: When the Mistletoe is placed on a tree, this tree is
turned face down (on the tree sapling side). It counts as a tree
sapling for the rest of the game. If it is played on a sapling, the
sapling remains a sapling.
Moor Birch, Turkey Oak, and O Christmas Tree: These are not
considered new tree species but a Birch, Oak, and Silver Fir,
respectively. They may, however, score differently from their
respective counterparts.

---

11
Palm Tree: This is a new tree species with its own tree symbol.
Red Panda: Bamboo is not a tree, so the symbol has no
effect.
Say’s Firefly: Counts as a firefly. Even with 5 fireflies in the
forest, you still get only 20 points in total.
