Black Forest

Description

--- **Black Forest** is a worker placement resource management game by Uwe Rosenberg, sequel to Glass Road, where players expand domains through specialists, buildings, and landscapes using iconic resource wheels. Key mechanics include: - *Worker placement* Players enlist specialists from villages via worker placement to perform actions, differing from Glass Road's simultaneous selection. - *Resource management* Two resource wheels on player tableaux track resources and production, enabling collection and glass production. - *Domain expansion* Lay landscape tiles (e.g., ponds, fields), build four types of buildings, and acquire livestock to grow from a small starting domain. - *Strategic building selection* Wide variety of buildings with diverse effects offer multiple paths to victory. Black Forest is a resource management board game designed by Uwe Rosenberg, continuing the Glass Road storyline set in the Black Forest. Players begin with a modest domain requiring buildings and livestock, traveling between villages to recruit top specialists. These specialists facilitate resource gathering, placement of landscape tiles like ponds and fields, and construction of buildings across four categories. Strategic choices in building selection, landscape arrangement, and activating glass production drive domain expansion. Iconic resource wheels—two per player tableau—monitor resources and production. Unlike Glass Road's simultaneous action selection, Black Forest employs worker placement. A broad array of buildings with varied effects provides diverse victory paths. ---
