## Description
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! Ready to spice up your Timber Tom game? The Timber Tom: The Wollemi Pines expansion introduces an extra challenge to your mountain hikes. You'll now encounter rare and protected Wollemi Pines scattered along the paths. The catch? Once planted, these special trees cannot be removed! If one pops up blocking your route, tough luck, you'll have to find another way forward. 

But it's not all about obstacles. You also have a stash of Wollemi 'seeds' to spread around, helping nature and perhaps hindering other players a bit. It's wise to use these seeds during your hike, as you'll face a penalty at the end if you have any left. This mini-expansion adds an interesting strategic layer, forcing players to adapt to unexpected roadblocks and manage their resources more effectively to meet the 'planting' objectives. It's a neat addition for those who already enjoy the base game and want a bit more excitement and twists in their plays.
