Product Information

The Seeker will begin the game by opening their eyes and rolling dice. They will then move the Lantern that same number of spaces along the path on the Game Board. Each stone on the path represents one space. The Seeker must continue to move in the same direction that they choose in the beginning unless they land on a moss-covered stone.

The Shadowlings’ goal is to meet all other Shadowlings in one spot while avoiding the Seeker’s lantern light. In fact, I have three such kiddos! And they all loved Shadows in the Forest!

Cutting all of the pieces at once ensures that they are all the same width.Games typically take 15 to 30 minutes, but can sometimes go a little longer if you're playing really strategically. This is a great length for younger gamers, and can allow for multiple rounds with many opportunities to be both hiders and seeker. You are deep in a dark, ancient forest with only your lantern to guide you. Tall, looming trees cast shadows all around. Off in the distance you hear a faint rustling sound and your heart begins to race. Could the legend be true? Will you finally discover the creatures who hide in the forest shadows? Jennifer J. Morgan’s cozy mystery, SHADOWS IN THE FOREST, includes all the elements of a well-structured whodunit—an interesting hook, captivating characters, suspenseful scenes, many red herrings, and a satisfying conclusion. The chapters are just the right length to break up the action with several cliff-hanger endings that propel readers into the next one. The hint of a potential romance between Libby and forest ranger Greg Lawson provides a diverting subplot but does not distract from the main storyline (Greg’s endless blue eyes capture Libby’s attention from the beginning, and his apparent interest in her keeps her wondering where this relationship could be headed). In the forest, the Shadowlings hide from the light. The Seeker, curious of these little creatures, ventures through the forest, light in hand. The Seeker works to find the Shadowlings, expose them, and show that the legends are true. The Shadowlings are fast and constantly avoid the light of the lantern. Will they make it through the night unseen? SETUP Players do not need to choose an individual Shadowling to play. All Shadowlings work together during the game.

The game can sometimes go on for a little longer than it needs to. The thin manual recommends choosing the right number of trees and Shadowlings that are right for your family, and by tinkering with the numbers you can make play go a lot faster.

The game was a TOTAL HIT with ALL three of them, their mother included! Husband was the "rules reader" and teacher, and all 6 of us played this game about five times before kids reluctantly went to bed.

Select the appropriate number of Shadowlings. The players can choose how many Shadowlings to use each round, but they must use at least three. We played it last night as a family, including my eight-year-old and four-year-old daughters. I can’t remember the last time we had so much fun over a new board game. That being said, the game plays best when the adults in the room do a little fudging with the rules.Shadows in the Forest is a play in the dark strategy and cooperative game for ages 8 to adult. The game can be enjoyed by 2-7 players.

With simple rules and fast rounds, Shadows in the Forest is a great game for all ages. The rules aren't complex, and the novelty of using actual light and shadows as a game mechanic is really neat. It would be interesting to see this idea iterated on with a more complex game. This book is the first to analyze the environmental impact of Japanese trade, corporations, and aid on timber management in the context of Southeast Asian political economies. It is also one of the first comprehensive studies of why Southeast Asian states are unable to enforce forest policies and regulations. Shadows in the Forest tells the story of the Shadowlings. These mythical creatures lurk deep in the shadowy forest and have never been seen by daylight. Players place all hiding places on the board in areas between paths. Hiding places may not touch the path.

The player who has most recently taken a walk in the woods becomes the Seeker. This player will move the lantern while all other players will act as Shadowlings. The game must be played with at least three Shadowlings, but players may add more if they wish. All Shadowlings work together, so players are not assigned a Shadowling. Author Jennifer J. Morgan’s SHADOWS IN THE FOREST weaves together a series of intriguing events that develop into a compelling and well-written cozy mystery. Everyone loved it, including the 15 yr old who wants to work a deal with her littlest sister to take it to a future slumber party. I hear that this game is a lot like an outdoor game called freeze tag, which I never played, but I do remember playing hide and seek, where if you were caught you were out. I enjoyed the game myself because the board game graphics + the lantern light reminded me of playing outside at night in the mysterious tree-shadows out in the yard. Just the experience of watching the shadows change amongst the trees on the board was nostalgic and captivating. I think that the girls loved the game because they won together. Cooperative play is unusual for them, and they seemed to relish that as well as the exaggerated finger-pointing and stage whispers they used to communicate to herd the pawns together. You think as a seeker that YOU are clever enough to hear the pawns tap or slide along the board (you CANNOT fly them over trees), but NO, it is not so easy. As a seeker I heard clues, kept the game going for a long time and found a few pawns, but they were able to buddy-up and re-mask, but finally everyone had to go to bed, so we all called the game a draw. I'm not sure if this is a rule, but we decided to play that on the first turn each pawn had to hide behind a different tree, because we beat the seeker in two turns grouping up like that, and the girls themselves seemed to like to prolong the game play/cooperation OVER WINNING. I am extremely enthusiastic about this book. It has significance in terms of developing the concepts of patron-client relations and shadow ecology as useful tools for analyzing a major new issue in international politics. It also contains a wealth of detailed information that will be immensely valuable to the researcher on global forest issues as well as Southeast Asian politics. No one else has taken on this broad set of topics with this depth and comprehensiveness. The research appears to me to be truly exhaustive, reflecting the author's research appears to me to be truly exhaustive, reflecting the author's research in the field as well as familiarity with the existing scholarly literature. For these reasons, I would judge it to be the authoritative scholarly work on the politics of tropical rainforests for a long time to come.
