Your small exploration vessel drifts off course during a routine survey and settles gently into the hidden valley of Thimblewood. Your ship’s power core is drained. Your radio is silent. And the only way home lies hidden beneath the hills. Scattered across the landscape are rare energy-rich crystals, guarded by time and ruins long forgotten. By placing tiles, choosing paths, and managing your limited supplies, you’ll explore the valley at your own pace—deciding how far to wander, and when to return. How You Play • Start by choosing a tile along the bottom edge of the map—your landing site. • Place tiles to explore outward, connecting paths that will safely lead you home. • Each tile has unique exits, so every placement matters. • Traveling costs energy. Resting costs food. Balance both to survive. Ancient Ruin Tiles help triangulate the location of hidden crystal vaults. Resting on Tiles reward you with valuable item cards—but carrying too many items much comes at a cost. The more you bring back, the less room you have for food and energy. Your experience builds the more times you journey out from your home base. Experience unlocks more Thimblewood tiles to make exploring more rewarding. Some items you bring back help to increase your endurance on future quests. And somewhere in the valley… There is a secret treasure, hidden behind a puzzle that must be discovered and solved.
