## Description
In Forestry, you step into the role of a forest steward, tasked with managing this precious resource sustainably. The game challenges you to strike the perfect balance between extracting what you need to fulfill contracts and, at the same time, nurturing the forest's health. Every decision you make, whether it's planting a new sapling or adjusting water flow for optimal moisture, leaves a lasting impact on the ecosystem. Drawing inspiration from real-life forestry practices, Forestry offers a hands-on lesson in forest management, proving to be as educational as it is engaging.

This is a Eurogame that excels in strategic action management, where each player controls two workers: a harvester and a manager. The harvester ventures into the woods, felling trees to meet contract demands, replanting saplings, constructing infrastructure, and ensuring the right moisture levels for the forest to thrive. Meanwhile, the manager oversees resource collection, utilizes sawmill buildings, finalizes contracts, and optimizes wood processing. The key to success lies in wisely allocating action points between these two helpers to make conscious decisions, improve infrastructure, and ensure the forest yields its bounty without depletion. Prepare for an immersive experience that blends strategy with environmental responsibility!
