How to play Forest Survival
Forest Survival leaves you lost in the woods for eight days with nothing to eat but what you can gather — and every edible plant here has a poisonous lookalike. Bunched blueberries grow near lone nightshade berries sitting on yellow star-shaped cups. Ridged chanterelles grow near clumps of gilled jack-o'-lanterns, star-flowered wild garlic near bell-flowered lily of the valley, and husked hazelnuts near glossy buckeyes with a pale eye. The poisonous twin is always the commoner one, and always the one with more calories.
Each day brings a new clearing and eight actions. Picking a plant costs one. Testing a plant you do not know also costs one: it tells you for certain, but a taste of something poisonous makes you ill. Your field guide starts torn, knowing only blueberries and jack-o'-lanterns, and fills in as you learn; known plants are marked wherever they grow. At camp you decide what in the basket you will actually eat.
Poison costs health and so does going to bed hungry, while a well-fed night restores a little. The nights get colder, so you need more food every day, and the safe plants thin out while the poisonous ones spread.
Objective
Survive eight days in the forest by learning which plants are safe to eat.
