INTRODUCTION OF THE FOX IN THE FOREST DUET

The Fox in the Forest Duet is a two player trick taking game created and published by Foxtrot Games and Renegade Game Studios in 2020.  Where The Fox in the Forest originally pitted two players against each other, Duet has each player working together.   오공슬롯

Each round, players will build tricks in a way that allows them to navigate the forest game board and collect gem tokens.  Players are not allowed to talk, and they must play cards that do not cause their team tracker token to move too far one direction or the other.  With every shuffle and deal, the stakes get higher as the forest closes in limiting player movement even more.

MATERIALS

The game deck consists of 30 playing cards.  There are three suits with 10 cards in each suit ranked 1-10.  The odd numbered cards all have special abilities that affect gameplay.  Some cards contain paw prints which cause the team tracker token to move

The Forest Board is the centerpiece of the game.  It contains gem locations and movement spaces for the team tracker token.  There are also two sides of the board with side A being easier than side B.

There are 22 Gem Tokens that must be collected during the game.  The game allows for multiple difficulty settings in which more or fewer tokens are out on the board.

The 4 Forest Tokens are used to shrink the playing space down each round.

The Team Tracker token represents the two players within the forest.  Move this piece during the game in order to claim gems.

The 2 reference cards include a brief summary of each odd number card’s special ability as well as what to do at the end of the first two rounds.

SETUP

Place the Forest Board in the center of the playing space in such a way that the narrow ends of the board face the two players.  Distribute the number of gem tokens required by each gem space.  Some spaces require zero, one, two, or three gems.  Place the gems in a stack on the space.

The Team Tracker begins on the starting space in the center of the Forest Board.  It is the space with a circle around it.

The dealer shuffles and deals 11 cards to each player face down.  Each player keeps their hand a secret, and they are not allowed to talk about the cards in their hand.  The rest of the cards are set aside as a kitty.  Flip the top card over to determine the Decree (trump suit) for the round.

THE PLAY

There are two phases to each turn.  First, each player will play a card to the trick.  Second, based on the results of the trick, the Team Tracker token is moved along the path.  This continues until all of the tricks have been played.

PLAY TO THE TRICK

The non-dealer plays a card to the trick.  The following player must follow suit if they can.  If they cannot follow the suit that was led, they may play any card from their hand.  The player that played the highest ranking card in the suit that was led or the highest trump suited card wins the trick.  Unless a special card was played, that player collects the trick and will lead next after moving the Team Tracker.
