About the Game

Hell Forest is an electronic board game that’s easy to pick up yet full of depth.

Your goal is to unify this fairy-tale forest by any means necessary.

Unlike traditional sandbox games, which quickly lose their appeal once you control over half the cities, this game avoids that issue entirely.

There’s no cumbersome city management or unruly mobs with impossible demands here.

You take on the role of the leader of either the Red or Blue faction,

aiming to earn as many victory points as you can.

Like the Eastern game of Go: abstract, concise, and engaging.

Each faction has its own unique card pool.

Drawing your hand cards in different orders delivers a completely distinct gameplay experience every time.

Take on various challenges, gain greater prestige, and surpass your own limits.
