Quotes (from this video)

Woodcraft is a game for a specific type of audience don't be fooled by the Cozy theme this is as stinky and unforgiving as they come
the biggest source of replayability comes from the fact that this game is hard
this is not something that you're going to be introducing to your non-gamer dad who just loves to work with wood
the star of the show however is the action wheel which is cleverly designed like a saw including a blade protector bit that covers bonuses

dice as resources — Dice of different wooden types represent resources; values influence what actions can be taken and what contracts can be fulfilled.
dice manipulation — Players cut dice to halve value, glue two dice to fuse them, or add pieces to modify outcomes, creating a tactile, modular resource system.
Engine Building: Triggered/Cascading — The design encourages chaining multiple actions into powerful combos, producing a satisfying crescendo of efficiency and contract fulfillment.
Lanterns — Lanterns are a versatile resource that can reposition actions, trigger bonuses, or allow taking an action again, depending on timing and current needs.
Low interaction — Player interaction is primarily indirect through shared bonuses and public objectives rather than direct competition or direct disruption.
Mega turns — The design encourages chaining multiple actions into powerful combos, producing a satisfying crescendo of efficiency and contract fulfillment.
Resource conversion actions — Rules allow performing action-based conversions and transformations in flexible order, enabling players to pursue many paths as long as tools and resources permit.
Resource management — Rules allow performing action-based conversions and transformations in flexible order, enabling players to pursue many paths as long as tools and resources permit.
Solo puzzle structure — The solo mode is designed as a beat-your-high-score puzzle, emphasizing puzzle depth and repeatable challenge rather than head-to-head competition.
