Living Forest

Four spirits of nature have been appointed to save the sacred tree from the devastating flames of Onibi. All want to enter the legend by becoming the Great Savior. In turn, they will have to choose between replanting protective trees, repelling Onibi's flames and/or waking up Sanki, the Guardian of the Forest...

You, spirit of nature, are called upon to save the sacred tree from the terrible flames of Onibi. But you are not alone, Animal Guardian cards, 14 at the start, are there to help you. Each animal can bring you one or more of the following with more or less strength: light to attract new animals, shoots to plant protective trees, water to extinguish Onibi's incessant fires, wisdom to advance on the circle of spirits and sacred flowers to awaken Sanki.

Each turn you pop your Guardian Animal cards online one by one, trying to have the best possible combination of elements to perform two actions. But be careful, if three solitary Guardian Animals are played, you can only make one. Among the possible actions you can: 1. Buy one or more Guardian Animal cards to enrich your deck, 2. Buy and place on your individual board protective trees which bring certain advantages, 3. Advance on the Circle of Spirits which, in addition to recover elements from the opponent when you pass him, allows you to trigger new actions, 4. Extinguish the fires.

At the end of the turn, you collect as many Fire cards as there are unextinguished fires. These cards have the same effect as Soltarian Guardian Animal cards except that they do not give you any benefits in return.

There are three ways to win the game, by planting 12 different protective trees, by collecting 12 sacred flowers to awaken Sanki or by extinguishing 12 fires to permanently repel Onibi.
