Publisher's blurb:

Some base elements include: lumberjacks, a lost republic, secret society and mysterious invisible world. With easy step-by-step 10-page instructions, no previous experience is required, and your adventure can start in no time!
AOS is a game that makes decisive use of minimalist graphics and dysfunctional team interaction to challenge players' imaginations and improve their abilities as storytellers. The game frequently favors an entertaining, unexpected defeat over formulaic short-term victories, as often it can be more fun to make the wrong choices than the right ones.
As well, great care has been taken to pattern the game closely to the legends that inspired it, making AOS one of the most faithful games to tradition to date.
