About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for some adorable chaos in the forest! Imagine that a game of hide-and-seek went a bit too far, and now the animal cubs have lost their way and can't find their way back to their parents. Bende in het Bos arrives to solve this predicament with plenty of fun and a dynamic that adapts to your playstyle. You can opt for the cooperative mode, where the goal is to join forces to ensure all the little ones return safely. To achieve this, the secret is distributing apples to give them energy and speed, but a word of caution: nature is unpredictable! A squirrel or a bird might pop up unexpectedly to steal your apples, and if the supply runs out before everyone makes it home, the whole group loses. On the other hand, if you prefer a competitive vibe, the challenge changes completely. In competitive mode, everyone for themselves! Your goal is to guide your own three cubs home as quickly as possible. You might even help other players, but only if it benefits you, of course! And don't forget to use strategy: placing tree trunks in the path can be the key to blocking opponents and securing your victory. It's a fast-paced game, perfect for a quick break between heavy sessions or for introducing the hobby to younger players. Whether working as a team or competing fiercely, the forest is buzzing and the fun is guaranteed!
