The perfect cozy strategy game about growing a tiny forest.

Aspens is a quick-playing, deceptively strategic game for two about growing stunning forests. Harness the forces of wind and sun, and carefully balance rapid expansion with sustainable growth, to outwit your opponent and grow the largest, most stunning forest. It perfectly blends strategy, with a bit of luck, to create an approachable, and satisfying strategic game - full of moments of anticipation, excitement, and interesting decisions - all in just 30 minutes. In Aspens you'll need to constantly adapt your strategy to outwit and outgrow your opponent - in an ever changing landscape - to plant the largest forest by the end of the game.

• Collect lost relics, and unlock the powers of ancient gods.
• Race to collect ancient artifacts scattered around the forest by growing your forestsaround them.
• Each artifact holds the unique power, of one of eight, distinct Ancient Gods - granting the owner a single-use, strategic ability - adding a fundamental twist to the gameplay.

• Draft dice powers, and unleash powerful weather effects.
• Draft dice-based abilities, and unleash powerful weather effects to reshape the landscape and gain a strategic advantage. Time them just right and you may just pull off a clever move that changes the entire course of the game.
