About this product
Grow a lush rainforest, plant colourful flowers, and welcome amazing wildlife.
A curated Afrishon World pick for nature-loving families, calm strategy gamers, and beautiful table moments.
Plant flowers, grow trees, attract rainforest animals, and build the most vibrant jungle habitat.
Product Description
In HUTAN: Life in the Rainforest, each player creates their own rainforest patch inspired by the beauty of Indonesia’s forests. Choose flower cards from a shared market, plant colourful flowers onto your rainforest boards, grow trees, and complete habitats to attract animals.
As your rainforest grows, iconic wildlife may arrive, including orangutans, Sumatran tigers, rhinoceros hornbills, cassowaries, and Sumatran rhinos. The rules are easy to follow, but every flower placement matters — one tiny blossom can become a tree, and one perfect habitat can bring in a star animal. Nature, but make it tactical. 🌿
