From BoardGameGeek
In the generations since the war with the Dark Sorcerer the forest of Whisperwood has stood silent, mired in corruption and lifeless. A council of Druids has taken on the task of cleansing the forest, awakening its guardian golems and restoring the flora and fauna. The druid who accomplishes the most in this endeavor will ascend to become the Primus of the Council. Whisperwood is a bag-building game for 1-4 players of druids harnessing the power of the elements and the natural world to restore a forest. Each round players simultaneously summon magical energy in the form of tokens and plan the actions they will perform. The players then perform their actions in turn order one by one, restoring air, water and earth, partnering with wildlife, inscribing runes and awakening the Golems to perform magical tasks. The land is strewn with corruption and the druids must absorb and purify this corruption to heal the forest - but take on too much corruption and your magical abilities will be compromised! -description from the publisher
