In Aspens, your goal is simple, grow the largest forest. Every turn you’ll roll dice and plant new trees, expanding into the various sections of the board. You’ll win the game if you have claimed the most spaces on the board by the end of the game, which triggers when the board is full of trees.
With each of the four expansions, the game evolves in exciting ways, whether it’s new scoring methods with Majestic Marvels, unique abilities and powers with Ancient Relics and Wild Weather, or team-based play for four players with Deciduous Duos. There’s a little something for everyone!
Question of the Day: If you could choose TWO of your favorite trees, what would they be?
