For Northwood! Is a solo hand management and precision trick-taking game. Your objective is to peacefully unify the kingdom of Northwood through conversations with their rulers. Over eight rounds, you must visit eight animal fiefs and engage their rulers in dialogue (tricks). Each ruler's suit represents the trump for that fief. Each ruler also requires you to win an exact number of tricks to join your alliance, so the game gets harder as your options dwindle.

You start with four allies, each with an ability that you can use once per visit. These abilities can make you draw, discard, or otherwise manipulate your hand to help you hit the target score. Once you've won a ruler over, you can pull them in to substitute temporarily for one of your allies, if you need a more specific set of abilities to tackle the harder fiefs.

With multiple difficulty levels, 24 rulers (12 used per game), and a 16-scenario challenge booklet, For Northwood! offers hours of gameplay with a new puzzle every time!

Winner of *Best Overall Game* and *Jury Prize* in the 2021 BGG 54-card contest.
Also winner of *Best Art*, *Best Solo Game*, and *Best New Designer*!

Rewarding Solitaire

I grew up playing card solitaire games and now play Solitaire as an app but For Northwood is replacing the app for me. One of the smoothest solo games I have ever played with meaningful decision points. Love it.

A bridge like solo trick taking game

A great bridge like solo trick taking game. Although the cute artwork doesn’t really fit the theme, this is a fun solo game that is very accessible to those familiar with trick taking card games. Based on a bridge hand bidding system there are enough special abilities available and choices to make to ensure replayability with tools to mitigate risk. Definitely a must play for solo gamers.

Super Solo!

A great little game to play alone. Interesting card manipulation powers to help with the trick taking. Cute art! Highly recommended.

Tempted to get another copy

One proper win after ~20 plays, and still not tired of it. I loan out my first copy to a friend, and regret quite a bit. Might get a backup copy to keep at home.
