Forest Raiders

A Tactical Memory Game

The forest holds its secrets well. 49 tiles lie face down in a 7×7 grid — wood, copper, silver, gold, and traps. Flip two tiles on your turn. Match the pair and take them — your path deepens with each tile removed. Reveal a trap and it stays face up, blocking passage around it. Tiles cut off behind traps become unreachable.

Memory is your weapon. Tactics are your survival.

The Laws of
the Forest

⬆ Player 2 (Row 1 — accessible)
⬇ Player 1 (Row 7 — accessible)
01
The Board

Shuffle all 49 tiles and lay them face down in a 7×7 grid. The trap in the center tile is flipped face up from the start.

02
Sides

Player 1 takes the bottom side (row 7). Player 2 takes the top side (row 1). Each starts from their own row.

03
First Turn

The player goes first. On your turn, flip two tiles from your accessible zone. Accessible tiles are highlighted on the board.

Forest Raiders
Retournez Deux Tuiles
On your turn, flip any two accessible tiles face up.
Matching Pair → Take & Replay
If both tiles show the same resource, take them into your reserve and play again. Chains are possible — keep going as long as you match.
No Match → Flip Back & Pass
If the tiles are different, flip them face down again. The turn passes to the opponent. Memorize what you saw.
Trap! → Blocked & Turn Ends
If either tile is a trap, it stays face up permanently, blocking that path. Your turn ends immediately. Tiles behind a trap in that column become inaccessible.
🏆
End of Game
The game ends when no more pairs can be formed among accessible tiles, or when all accessible tiles have been taken. Count your points — the highest score wins.

▲ Player 1 Only front row accessible

Starting Access
At the start, only the front row is accessible — row 7 for Player 1, row 1 for Player 2. All other tiles are hidden and unreachable.
🪓
Taking a Tile Opens the Path
When a pair is taken, those spaces become empty. The path floods orthogonally (up, down, left, right) through empty spaces. Any hidden tile directly adjacent to an empty space becomes accessible — not just the tile above, but also tiles to the sides.
Traps Block the Flood
A revealed trap stops the flood — it cannot be crossed. Any tile that can only be reached through that trap becomes permanently unreachable. The trap stays face up for the rest of the game.
Gold Pair
Each pair of gold tiles collected is worth 2 points. Gold is the rarest — and the most rewarded.
+2 pts
Silver (×4)
Every 4 silver tiles in your reserve earn 1 point. Collect in sets.
+1 pt
Most Copper
The player with the most copper tiles gains 1 bonus point. If tied, nobody gets it.
+1 pt
Tiebreaker — Most Wood
If final scores are tied, the player with the most wood tiles wins the tiebreaker and claims +1 point.
+1 pt
Wood
×18 tiles
The most common resource. Pairs are easy to find — but wood scores only as a tiebreaker. Don't neglect it.
Copper
×12 tiles
The majority bonus resource. Collect more than your opponent to claim +1 point — but only one player can win this.
Silver
×8 tiles
Valuable in sets of 4. Each complete set of 4 silver tiles earns 1 point. Hard to find — pair wisely.
Gold
×4 tiles
The rarest and most rewarding. Each gold pair is worth 2 points. Only 2 pairs exist — the race to claim them decides the game.
Trap
×6 tiles (1 visible at start)
No points — only danger. Flip a trap and your turn ends immediately. The trap stays face up, permanently blocking that column. The central trap is revealed from turn one. Use your memory to avoid them — or lure your opponent in.
