Storyfold: Schattenwald

Great game. The main thing is to understand that this is not a story with some tasks, but each episode is a puzzle, and the plot leads from one episode (puzzle) to another. I would also add white font on a black background to the shortcomings, but this is my perception. In everything else, the game is great. Interesting plot. High-quality materials (cards, books, organizer). Cards create pictures. Interesting (and sometimes difficult) episodes.

Of the 174 games, 268 expansions, and 72 accessories currently in my collection, "Storyfold: Wildwoods" is far and away the crown jewel of it all. Thematically it resonates deeply and emotionally, visually it is a masterpiece, and mechanically it is simple and brilliant. This solo only "game" is more of a life experience, one that transcends excellent board game design and truly evates it to high art. I was so moved by the the beauty of "Storyfold: Wildwoods" when I first unboxed it that I unexpectedly shed a few tears. "Storyfold: Wildwoods" is truly in a class of its own.

Rating after first 4 or so games. Amazingly well produced game. Very excited every time I get it out. Update: this competes for top production of any game I own (out of 200+), and certainly one of the best produced solo games I own. No minis, but I do have the screen printed wooden pieces and playmat, and they're wonderful. Everything has its place, and makes sense, even after not playing for a number of months. It's also perfect to save between games. The system works perfectly. Just enough decisions and different ways you're being pulled, too. I'm auto backing any other games they make in this system, if they're remotely like this.

This is an incredibly creative and innovative game. The card movement mechanics are deeply impressive. The travel story of the little girl and the old bear is truly touching. The storybook-style opening and stunning artwork are absolutely breathtaking. I hope this series will continue.

Das ist ein wirklich schönes gelungenes Spiel. Die ganze Aufmachung im Buchdesign gefällt mir sehr gut und auch die Speicheroption ist sehr durchdacht. Die illustrationen sind wunderschön! Ich freue mich schon sehr auf den 2. Teil der Storyfold Reihe und hoffe das dieser auch wieder in Deutsch erscheint.
