Product Description
THE STORY
You might be a bounty hunter looking for fame and fortune. You might be a peasant looking to feed his starving family. You might be a maiden running away from her arranged marriage, or just a random dude who has gotten lost. Anyway, you’ve ended up at The Grimwood, a forest where supernatural creatures reside.
THE GAMEPLAY
The Grimwood is a highly chaotic, slightly strategic game of competition and sabotage. Draw from the deck, steal from other players, and unleash the powers of your supernaturals to get the most points. There’s only a limited time to make your moves though, because the game ends when the last card is drawn. The deck goes quicker than you think!
Ideal for people who want a fast-paced game with a lot of player interaction (i.e., sabotage). Easy to learn, fun for gamers and non-gamers alike. Family-friendly and friend-friendly.

Some rules require that you read the card carefully. For example, Amulets block card STEALS but some cards allow you to TAKE, which is different, so the Amulet doesn't work.
Some of the rules are a little vague and will require house rules - for example The Eternals.
The quality of the card paper and box is low, I used packing tape to reinforce the box. I expect it will degrade a lot with travel and play.
This isn’t one of those cheap “throwaway” games. You get to do evil things like completely swap hands with someone or steal a card from them...completely hamper their progress...and even the worst losers will just shrug it off, because the game will swing back into their favor at any moment. On top of it, there is actually an underlying strategic component to all the madness. It’s good!
I love the art on the cards as well, and the game itself is so well thought out. You can steal cards from other players or have directives on special cards that allow you to see other players cards or swap out your cards for theirs, and stuff like that. It's really fun and fast paced so you can swap out players in between games or only play one or two rounds and be done with out having to wait hours for the game to be done.
1. The box the cards are contained in is not really durable and I might have to look into placing these in a more secure, safer container because...
2. The box can potentially damage the cards themselves if not handled correctly. I had the cards for one day and I already accidentally damaged the top portion of "The Huntress" card. Maybe that's on me but also maybe the cards could be more durable? I mean you are paying $20 for these cards. You should not have to worry too much about this.
The game itself is great and the artwork is something I love but the overall quality wasn't exactly to what I was expecting. Maybe the cards could be better in durability or maybe the box containing them could be a bit bigger.
To those looking to purchase these cards and want a descriptive visual, I expected the cards to be in a box like Uno quality (thick and strong) but instead got a box with the same durability as those Bicycle Poker cards you can buy for a dollar at Wal-Mart. About the same size too. I had the box for one day and it already had creasing and tearing. So just be really careful. Especially if you like the cards and don't want to damage them.
