The Fox in the Forest-Duet

Step back into the enchanted world of the fairy-tale forest with Fox in the Forest Duet, the highly anticipated cooperative sequel to the original award-winning card game. Unlike its predecessor, which focused on competitive play, Duet invites two players to work in harmony. You and your teammate must navigate a shared path through the woods, playing tricks to move your collective marker and gather precious gems scattered along the way. It is a perfect choice for couples or friends who enjoy the mechanics of trick-taking but prefer the satisfaction of winning as a team.

The game relies on clever communication and strategy without the need for talking about your specific hand. By using the special abilities of the forest characters, you can exchange cards with your partner or manipulate who leads the next trick. Each card played will move the team marker along the forest board, so you must carefully coordinate your choices to land on the spaces containing gems. Success requires a delicate balance; move too far or too fast, and you risk wandering off the path and getting lost in the deep forest, which adds forest tokens to your board and shortens your time to complete the mission.

With its beautiful illustrations and high-quality card stock, Fox in the Forest Duet is as visually stunning as it is engaging to play. The game offers multiple levels of difficulty, allowing you to increase the challenge as you and your partner become more attuned to each other's playstyles. Each session takes approximately thirty minutes, making it an ideal game for a quiet evening or a quick tabletop break. Whether you are a veteran of the original game or new to the series, this cooperative journey provides a fresh and rewarding twist on a classic genre.
