Bhengel

In this game, you try to preserve the forest of the Hengelhoef holiday park in Belgium while walking through the park and doing recreational activities. The goal of the game is to have the most points after all players have completed the course. Players get points based on the order in which they arrive (who arrives first gets the most points) and they also get points for collecting and matching up word and item cards. The board features a forest with 10 trees and a linear track with spaces. You roll a die to move along the track and when you land on a green Bhengel and a grey Timber space you respectively add a tree to the forest or remove it. There are also spaces with a green/yellow dot that give you an item or word card respectively but only if there still trees in the forest. Then there are assignment spaces with a red dot (that tell you to go move ahead, move back, lose a turn, make everyone go to your space, take the long road through the forest etc.). When you land on a double-arrow space, you can decide which direction to move in and certain activity spaces also let you pick the direction. Apart from those little decisions, the game is all luck. —user summary
