Forest First - Board game

Forest First

Forest First is a charming first racing game for young children. It’s a sunny day in the forest and four little animals – a bunny, a squirrel, a bear and a deer – are ready to run from tree to tree. Each critter follows its own path, but tempting forest snacks can slow them down along the way. Instead of rolling dice and counting spaces, you draw tiles from a bag: the colour on the tile shows which tree all animals move to at the same time. The first player to guide their animal to the end of the forest track wins the race.

Key Features:

• Gentle first game for ages 3+: Designed specifically for toddlers and preschoolers as an easy, friendly introduction to modern board games.

• Colour-based movement, no dice: Movement is controlled by colour tiles instead of dice, so children don’t have to count spaces to join the fun.

• Everyone moves at the same time: Each drawn tile moves all animals forward together, avoiding long waits and keeping every child involved.

• Jigsaw forest board with four tracks: The board is assembled like a puzzle, creating four autumn forest paths filled with trees and tasty snacks.

• Snack tiles add simple tactics: Movement tiles and food tiles create moments where children decide when to dash ahead or slow others down with snack breaks.

• Very short playtime for little attention spans: Plays in about 5 minutes for 2–4 players, making it easy to fit in “just one more race”.

• Encourages learning through play: Helps develop colour recognition, early strategy, fine motor skills, turn-taking and emotional skills around winning and losing.
