About Backwoods
The year is 1830. You and your crew were on an expedition across the Rocky Mountains. You made it to the Colorado River where canoeing seemed a good option. The rapids disagreed. Now, those of you who survived must combine your skills to explore, forage, craft, and fight your way out of a tainted wilderness. Backwoods is a cooperative survival adventure for 1-4 players. Brimming with player agency, high interaction, and fork-in-the-road moments, you'll need to manage your resources and decide when to press your luck if you are to complete the expedition's goals and make it back to the Fort alive. Grab your flintlock pistol and decide what kind of Pioneer you are in Backwoods. —description from the publisher
