The Czech publisher Pink Troubadour celebrated a strong debut at Europe’s largest board game expo, Spiel Essen 2024 in Germany. Their game Galileo Galilei, where players act as astronomers exploring the night sky, quickly sold out.

Pink Troubadour is now focusing on exciting new projects, especially the highly anticipated game Forestry by Michal Peichl. Forestry underscores the vital role of trees, showcasing their diverse uses, environmental impact, and the unique benefits of wood. In the game, players manage a forest by harvesting timber, planting trees, and fulfilling contracts, all while striving to balance resource use with sustainable practices.

Forestry is a medium-weight Euro game for 1 to 4 players, with a playtime of about 70–120 minutes. It features a solo mode created by Tomáš Holek and artwork by Michal Řezníček.

The game includes insights from foresters at the Czech University of Agriculture, offering expert knowledge alongside the mechanics and interesting facts on the Order cards.

“Our goal is to show the potential of wood products and the importance of forest care to ensure their continued health and usability,” says Michal Peichl. Forestry will be available at Spiel Essen 2025.
