Lost in the Woods

About Lost in the Woods Game: A Thrilling Solo Adventure

Lost in the Woods immerses players in the eerie atmosphere of Ichabod Crane’s ill-fated journey home on the eve of the original Legend of Sleepy Hollow. As Ichabod, your mission is to navigate the dark forest, evade the Headless Horseman, and reach the covered bridge before time runs out. This solo game combines hand management, push-your-luck mechanics, and strategic decision-making.

Attraction Points

1. Race Against Time: You have 60 minutes (12 units of Time) to traverse the forest. Every move counts as you strive to escape the clutches of the supernatural.
2. Woods Cards: Draw from the Journey Deck to reveal Woods cards. These cards bear good luck symbols. Match symbols in the Fright Row to progress, but beware—the same symbols cannot be adjacent in the Forest Row.
3. Frightening Encounters: Fright cards (featuring a wolf, a bat, and an owl) add tension. Matched pairs in the Fright Row lead to discards, affecting your precious Time.
4. Event Cards: Unpredictable events, such as the Torch or the appearance of the Headless Horseman, spice up the gameplay. Adapt your strategy accordingly.

Controls

• Journey Deck: Draw Woods and Fright cards.
• Fright Row: Manage Fright cards and avoid losing Time.
• Forest Row: Strategically place Woods cards without repeating symbols.

Tactics

1. Luck vs. Strategy: Balancing risk and reward is crucial. Optimize your moves to maximize Time while avoiding setbacks.
2. Symbol Placement: Plan ahead. Position Woods cards carefully to avoid symbol clashes.
3. Fright Management: Keep an eye on Fright cards. Discard wisely to maintain your progress.
4. Event Awareness: Be prepared for unexpected twists. Event cards can alter your fate.

In the dark forest, every decision matters. Can you guide Ichabod safely home, or will the Headless Horseman claim another victim?
