Legend has it that Tulikko, the fire fox, lives hidden among the animal spirits in the depths of the forests of the far north. On certain winter nights, he runs so fast that he produces sparks that rise into the sky to create the Northern Lights. Explore these mystical forests to discover the territories of the animal spirits and be the first to reveal their secrets! Tulikko is a game of tile-laying and optimization set in a dreamlike Scandinavian world! Carefully choose the Forest tiles by sliding them of the central board and arrange them as best you can on your personal board to accommodate your Animal Spirits. Complete objectives and trigger special powers and be the first to place all your tokens to win the game! -description from the publisher
