From BoardGameGeek

Your ancestors have lived in the forest for generations, surviving by following the Leylines - tangled wisps of magic that weave between the pines and lead to the forest's most coveted bounties. But you can't sustain yourself on only moss and berries for long. Every solstice, the fae-markets roll into the forest with their caravans bursting with food and supplies. Gather what you can from the woodland floor and seek out the markets before they move on. Leylines is a re-imagining/update of the classic game Auf Achse by Wolfgang Kramer set in a brand new world with new rules by Daryl Andrews, featuring beautiful acrylic standees and a circular board filled with magical leylines and mystical markets! To win, players must collect resources in the forest and bring them back along the leylines to the markets to sell them. Be aware though the magical merchants pay different amounts depending on what they are interested in! Each round players will take turns waking up and preparing for the day by placing their dice to program their actions and then adventuring through the forest using their placed dice. They will pick up resources along the way and deliver them to the markets for either Gold or Magical items to help them in their journey. -description from publisher
