Who it's for

Fans of light-to-medium strategy who enjoy bluffing and reading opponents as much as building an engine.

Not for you if…

You dislike having your plans wrecked by other players, the Big Bad Wolf and rival builders show no mercy.

🦊

Vibe's take

Tense and playful in equal measure, every round is a guessing game as you commit to a location in secret, then watch the chaos unfold when everyone reveals at once.

About this game

In The Grimm Forest, you're a pig sibling racing to build three houses before the Big Bad Wolf ruins your plans. Sneak into fields, brickyards, and the dark forest to gather wood, straw, and brick, while fairy-tale icons like Robin Hood and Snow White tip the scales in your favor, or someone else's. Simultaneous card selection means you're always guessing where your rivals will strike next.
