• Brown Cards: (Lumberjacks/hunters) can only be moved by player #1 (the brown coloured player).
  Blue Cards: (bears/foxes) can only be moved by player #2 (the blue coloured player).
• Game birds (duck/pheasant) may be moved by either player.
• Trees cannot be moved - they can be felled by the lumberjack.
• You can only move in straight lines. Lumberjacks and bears may only move one space, every other game piece can move as many spaces in a straight line.
• You cannot move a game piece back to the square it was the previous turn.
• A card which has just been turned over cannot be moved until your next turn.

To take (eat) another game piece, simply move your piece on to the opponents game piece. (Remember to use the above rules).

Once all the cards have been turned over, each player has five more turns. The number of turns left is shown on the right of the screen.

Each player can move their game pieces out of the forest. You must be able to move via and in the direction of a green arrow using the stated rules. The game pieces are removed and score the values shown on the window under the names of the players.
