Fox on the Tree

From BoardGameGeek:

It Starts Simple. Then It Messes With Your Mind. In this fast-paced hidden-roles game, you secretly guide two favorite animals to safety while sabotaging one rival. Farm animals flee toward the forest, predators hunt toward the farm-but you're not the only mastermind with a plan. Use action tokens to trap, block, and rescue. Drop banana peels, lure enemies into swamps, and pull off last-second escapes. Predators can jump ahead, while farm animals slip past opponents to gain speed. The game unfolds in two mirrored phases as animals reverse direction and race back home. Watch closely to spot who's helping whom, outmaneuver your opponents, and turn the shifting board to your advantage. Every choice is permanent. Every move matters. Score points by getting your favorites to their destination-and lose points if your unfavored animal succeeds. Outsmart the others before they do the same to you. -description from the designer
