The board game Letokruhy invites you into the world of modern forestry management within European forests.

Strategy, Ecology, and Technology

As foresters and sawmill owners, you will control two key assets: a harvester, responsible for harvesting and reforestation in the field, and a sawmill manager, who oversees the processing of raw materials and the fulfillment of orders. Every step requires strategic planning:

• Tree Species: Work with spruce, pine, oak, beech, and birch.

• Processing: Drying, planing, and preparing material for high-end clients.

• Landscape Engineering: Build forest roads, water meanders, and reservoirs that alter the game board and help combat climate change.

Versatile Gameplay

The game offers high replayability thanks to characters with unique abilities (such as a drone operator or logistics manager). A simplified tutorial version is available for beginners, while seasoned strategists will appreciate the depth of the advanced mode. The game also includes a sophisticated solo mode against a virtual opponent.
