Linwood (2009)

Linwood is the board game.....without a board! Right from your first step, you decide how the land of Linwood will unravel. Will you rush off in pursuit of the hidden element stones, or patiently wait as others find themselves lost in a dark and unfamiliar forest?

From the starting tile, players expand the forest area, known as Linwood, in search of the four element stones. Each stone has a unique ability which players can use within Linwood. The aim of the game is to be the first player to collect all four element stones and return them to the starting tile.
