Description
You are a young spirit of the forest, sent out by Gaia to bring the first life to the world. While you are growing your trees across the vast and barren lands of Pangaia, you must complete a series of rituals to honor Mother Nature. Those rituals unleash Gaia's energy of life and are the beginning of the endless cycle of growth and decay.
In Forests of Pangaia, you grow your own forest and contend with other players for territory. Strategic choices are crucial along the way. Will you keep your forest calm and isolated or mingle with others to reap the benefits gained from diversity?

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- endgame trigger — The game ends when the ritual deck is exhausted or another global trigger occurs, prompting final scoring.
- Line scoring across biomes — Certain rituals score points for lines of adjacent trees spanning designated biomes (e.g., sun to wind).
- Resource Management — Sun, wind, and water resources are spent to grow treetops, unlock seeds, and fulfill rituals.
- Ritual fulfillment — Rituals require specific patterns of trees in biomes; fulfilling them grants points and triggers cascading effects.
- Seed-to-tree growth — Seeds placed on the map grow into trees over successive phases, enabling further actions and scoring potential.
- Spiritual actions — Each turn includes placing a spirit on a lake and performing seed placement adjacent to that spirit.
- Tree decay and regeneration — Completing certain rituals decays some trees, returning seeds or changing tree levels and board state.
- Treetop advancement — Players pay treetop resources to advance trees to higher levels, unlocking new benefits and points.
