Out of the Woods is inspired by fairy tales, featuring references to ten classic stories including Cinderella, Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood, The Little Mermaid, Snow White and Hansel and Gretel. In the game, players must attempt to get rid of their hand of cards, with the last person holding cards eaten by wolves. Actions include the ability to attack or burden other players, which can be fended off with block and reflect cards. There are seven different action cards and 40 character cards, and the game supports two to four players.
