From BoardGameGeek

Long ago, a maiden mage was trapped in an enchanted forest ring. Through her cunning, and with the help of four magic objects, she attempts to escape her fate. The Maiden in the Forest is an 18-card solitaire game. The rules are contained within the 18 cards. The object of the game is to rotate, then turn over, each of the twelve tree cards from their blooming to dormant side. If you can do this before the end of the twelve clock cycles of day and night, you win your freedom. Each day, players shuffle the four object cards and place them face down in a pile. Draw the top card and view the object shown therein. All tree cards with this object may not be touched by the player during this cycle of day and night. Take the remaining three object cards and use their actions to move. Each night, players may now rotate blossoming tree cards with matching colors or matching objects that you are allowed to touch this night. Move the maiden card one position in the ring clockwise to signal the end of this day and night and the beginning of a new turn. If you turn each of the twelve tree cards to their dormant side before the end of twelve clock cycles of day and night, you win.
