A girl once went into the forest, yes in the green wood. And when she came into the deep valley suddenly exclaimed a voice: Stop! For in the forest there are the robbers, halli hallo the robbers, the war'n crush on her. And when they came out of the wood, because her heart beat with happiness. So she longs for bramble and back into the forest. For in the forest there are the robbers, halli hallo the robbers, like to make music.

Then they heard a wild predator man oh my girl is. The girl said: I do not let me to such matters shall! Let us rather pick Brombeer'n, yes dear pick Brombeer'n, yes it must be beautiful. And if you have a mother- then send them into the forest and sit them on the highest bough, then her feet are cold. For in the forest there are the robbers, halli hallo the robbers, to bring your mother in law soon.

Do not worry - the game is not for Academy Literature blog, but in this poem briefly describes the topic of the game "In the forest there are the robbers" by Mark "Krimsu" Sien wood. In the case at Krimsus paraphernalia appeared two to four players play their bands of robbers lead to a raid and try to be the most successful band.

In the box found next to a little game plan for counting the points, a lot Sechseckplättchen, a linen bag for the loot chips, pawns, wooden marker, additional chips for the robbers, a marker and a die for the Guard and a small plate for the girl. So in short, everything you need for a fun raid.

At the beginning of the game each player two robbers figures (or three in the two-player game), the pawn for the counting of points (which will be made to your at the "0" on the scoring track) and the additional chips of his color (depending on the number of players receives two to three "thieves" and "Power Trunk) and the hexagon with the robber camp of his gang.

Subsequently, the three start boxes ("S" on the back) up in the middle of the pitch. This show celebrated in the poem blackberry bush. Furthermore, the remaining Sechseckplättchen divided into four stacks of 12 plates. Three of the stacks on the related fields of the board. The last is divided equally among the players. Finally, now the forest for the raid is being prepared. For this, the players take in turns one of their Sechseckplättchen (including the camp robbers) to the growing forest and populate it with appropriate prey tile from the linen bag (to be fitted when and why will follow later). Is everything set up the robbers figures come to their camps and the player with the loudest laughter thieves begins. Thus moved .. Har Har Har .. Ren, we no longer and finally start the game.

The game now runs for three rounds. In each round, players get more action points for their predators, and each round is completed with a score. In a train the player draws a tile from the active stack and applies it to the wood, and equipped it with any prey platelets.

Then he can spend with each of its predator, the round depending on the available action points. This much is a step one point (a small plate guards the Guardsman two). Also receiving a prey plate costs one point. The aim is to bring the prey into its own tile store, where they are then safe.

During this movement phase, the player can use his special plates. He gets the votes for a drink once the full force action points for a robber. With the help of Reuben pointed to a plate can be moved to a small plate or steals from another predator. At the end of the train, the player must still move the Guards. This is the four-sided dice are thrown and moved the guardsmen figure on shortest paths to Guard marker. The steps correspond to the number of the cube plus the round number (ie, in round two with a checkered one (2 +1) three steps) Is he coming this past predators, they must return to their camp and have of course come with fear to prey.

Predators, which are in a pub (this must be the player with no prey to a host home field and it will be confiscated before the inn) remain on the slide. If a stack is empty it to the championship. There are points for each species of prey platelets (the more prey plates of a variety all the more), and periods of complete sets.

After the third round to be the values of the inns are counted, which are occupied by the players (per pub only a robber). What forest chips it now and how come the spoils, the girl and the trooper comes into play? Each tile shows either a way to an inn, a farm or a hunting lodge.

Guard:
On the first farm, which is placed in the first round of the Guards pawn is placed. Then the player may determine to what attracts other Baurnhof the guardsman. At this the guards chip is placed. Achieved its goal of Guardsman, may determine the player who is just on the train, the new goal.

Girls:
The girls chip is placed on the first directional plate which appears in the first round. It is treated like a prey chip, but it must be (as the poem already mentioned) to be related to the blackberry bush. The player who creates the three points given immediately. The girl then comes from the plan and appeared on the way down the next tile on again.

Yield:
Now the most important for a robber. The loot comes into play when a farm, inn or hunting lodge is set (also in the construction phase). Here, on the farm a tile must be placed on the tavern a plate. The hunting lodge is always equipped with two prey platelets. The plates are always prey blind pulled out of the linen bag.

In the forest there are the robbers is first and foremost a board game and play through the fast-growing forest and over again. Also, the collection element with the robbers is exciting and can provide the player with the clever scoring mechanism before one or another task. But it is quite clear: the game is not a strategy game and it would not be. It wants to kidnap the players on a casual trip to the forest predator and places it on the thieves and the guard also clearly important that the players get angry a bit.

Humor is in the game so very important. One should also not own moves to improve immeasurably, as it slows the flow of play with the loss of the looseness of the game is. In the forest there are the robbers is recommended for a casual game night with friends, or a family game night. Strategists should also whether the great influence of Fortuna access rather to another game. All in all, the first board game out of the house Krimsus paraphernalia box but a predatory fun.
