Mechanics of The Grimm Forest

• Collecting Sets - Players collect resources such as straw, wood and bricks throughout the game to build houses. The aim is to gather sets of these resources to erect different types of house (straw, wood, bricks), which offer different scores. Completing a set of houses before other players can give you a significant strategic advantage.
• Simultaneous Action Selection - All players choose their actions at the same time, selecting location cards that determine where they will look for resources on the board. This simultaneous choice adds a layer of foresight and strategy, as players must try to guess their opponents' intentions in order to avoid conflict or maximize their own acquisitions.
• Take that - This mechanic involves directly interfering with other players through the use of fable cards and friend cards. Fable cards allow players to directly sabotage or hinder the actions and resources of others, while friend cards offer special abilities that can benefit the player or also serve as a counterbalance to the opponent's actions.
