About this game

Dark Forest is a turn-based strategy game set on an overhead, color-coded map. Players select one of four territories and compete to expand their control across the land.

Each turn provides additional men, which can be moved between territories before fighting to capture new areas. Up to six players can participate, while the Gruds control the remaining teams. The goal is to defeat all opponents and the Gruds and claim the entire land.
