Northwest

Northwest a 2-to-4-player tableau-building game with unique point salad scoring and shared movement mechanics. It can be taught in 3 minutes or less and has the right balance of luck and strategy to make it accessible to anyone.

Each turn, the player drafts a memento cube from the main exploration board by moving the shared exploration token onto the cube and adding it to their tableau. The previously captured memento cube sets the next player's available move:

Bees/Honey: next player must move in the L-Shape similar to the Knights from the Chess.

Mushrooms: next player must move into a space in any of the 8 surrounding spaces.

Ferns: next player must move into 1 of 4 orthogonal spaces.

Maples: next player must move into 1 of 4 diagonal spaces.
