The rules, step by step

Setup
Setting up Black Forest involves arranging the main game board centrally with villages and tradespeople tiles. Each player takes a player board featuring resource wheels for glass and cooking, starting personal estate tiles, and a worker pawn. Building boards and various resource supplies are organized nearby so all players have easy access.
Objective
The objective of Black Forest is to efficiently manage your resources using innovative tracking wheels, construct various buildings, and develop your personal estate to accumulate the highest number of victory points by the end of the game.
On your turn
A player's turn consists of three main steps: optionally spending a commodity to swap tiles, moving your worker to a village while paying provision costs and visitor fees, and executing the actions of one or two adjacent tradespeople. Players must carefully balance resource conversion and movement.
Scoring
Scoring happens at the end of the game and comes from multiple sources including constructed buildings, specialized end-game tiles, resource wheel positions, and estate expansions.
Game end
The game concludes when a player's resource provision marker completes a full rotation around their wheel, triggering a final round for all players before scoring.
Tips
Pay close attention to resource wheel automation and estate tracking. Managing your provisions effectively for travel and worker placement is critical for success.
