Aspens – Wind-Driven Forest Control

Aspens is a focused two-player strategy game about growing a shared woodland across a hex grid while denying your opponent space and momentum. Every round revolves around managing uncertainty from dice, then converting it into precise placement and long-term board control.

🎯 Gameplay Overview

• Players: 2
• Playtime: 20–45 minutes
• Recommended Age: 10 and up
• Game Type: Abstract Strategy, Area Control, Dice-Directed Placement

On your turn, sun and wind results shape what you can do: the sun influences how many trees you can generate through smart development, while the wind restricts where growth is permitted. The core tension is whether to build upward to improve future production or expand outward to lock down key hexes and limit your opponent’s options. The game ends when the landscape is filled, with victory determined by board control.

🌍 Scenario Variety

The play area is built from board tiles during setup, creating shifting contours and contested lanes from game to game. This modular layout keeps openings and expansion routes fresh while preserving the same tight, tactical decision-making.
