What is Winterhaven Woods about?
Winterhaven Woods is an exciting card game that combines drafting and set collection with some light player interaction. Create woodland homes for your critters by collecting sets of trees!
You can earn additional points by hunting critters left exposed in your opponent’s meadows! Consider stealing critters from your opponents’ woods and meadow, adding them to your own, but don’t use too many otherwise you’ll be penalized. Craft your winter woodland to earn bonuses!
At the end of 3 rounds, the player with the highest total score wins!
Winterhaven Woods is a card draft game where players get a hand of cards, take one, and then pass the rest. This continues until all the cards have been selected. Instead of playing each card immediately after drafting it, you place them face down in a pile and then play them all at once.
Following the draft, cards are played in phases based on type. Firstly, everyone plays critters, then steals animals, and then predators.
After 3 rounds of drafting, players add up points and the player with the highest wins.
