About the game

What is Whispering Woods?

Forests are magical places where different spirit animals live. In Whispering Woods, you have to build trails for your spirit animals and thus complete missions that will benefit you with victory points. On each turn, you can collect two landscape tiles for your forest, or one quest tile with a particular path to be able to score in the future. You will also be able to complete several chain rides with your animals, which allows you to obtain career goals that will benefit you even more. Grow your forest, and walk its trails with your spirit animals. Good planning will allow you to hike several trails consecutively — but take care as a planning mistake can cost you dearly. Whispering Woods includes a mode for solo play. —description from the publisher
