Honeywood Forest - Game 1 - Day 10
Welcome to Honeywood Forest! After a delicious spring picnic in the Honeywood Forest, the picnickers must make their way out of the woods. Unfortunately, all the delicious food has caught the attention of some bears who are just waking up from hibernation and are ravenous! Escape before you become their next meal!
This is a play-by-post game, inspired by @happyme’s Zombie games. We will use the game board below to play the game. The goal is to make it to the Forest Portal square at the end of the path. Please note: This is a new game and the first time I’m running it so this is a test run. I’ll be learning if the mechanics work through this game and may change them to work better in future games.
This game has space for up to 8 players and requires daily participation from the players. Players can jump in any time, but the game ends when a player reaches the Forest Portal. Players post a comment on the daily game post to sign up and take their turn.

Rules
A copy of the game rules is available here. An extra rule is if you encounter a bear in your move, you can jump over it as long as you don't land directly in that bear's square.
How to Play
- Players use the online tool to roll a dice.
- Players comment below with their player number, what number their roll was, and which direction they move (ex: N, E, S, or W)
- I will draw a card for each player after their turn from my homemade deck and comment after your turn with the player's draw.
- After all players have moved or after 24 hours has passed, I will roll for the Bears on the board and the Dens to see if they spawn bears.

Prizes
Each player's first comment will receive an upvote from me. Each day, I will also select a random active player to win a Hive SBI share using a number picker. At the end of the game, all active players win the tokens they currently have in their bags plus 5 Hive SBI shares. One player will also receive my bag of tokens.
Yesterday's Hive SBI winner was @aussieninja! Congratulations!
PLEASE NOTE
Some very generous folks have been upvoting these game posts so I have decided to increase the HIVE SBI shares that are won at the end of the game from 1 per player to 5 per player. I may have to drop it back down to 1 for the next game but for now I wanted to thank everyone for playing so far and share the generosity.

Player 2 rolled 4
I can't for the life of me find 8 bears, even looking at the big map. I can only find 6 of them.
The way the current map looks, I would move north, but if there are invisible bears to the north, I would prefer to move south or even perhaps take a chance on passing the empty bear den to the east.
If a bear is sleeping in its den, it's not active on the board! You can see which bears are active by looking at the Den rolls. Currently, Red and Shrome are sleeping so you don't see them on the board.
OK, now that I've studied the map and bears I'm even more confused. Red should be in den 7, not Fin, correct? Or are they BOTH in there together? Maybe THAT'S why I can't find Red, Red is covered by Fin! And Fin is NOT asleep. Ahhhhh!!! I'm scared now. I think I better go SOUTH 4 spaces.
Red is asleep so you can't see him, Fin just happened to land on Red's den while trying to head for the players. They are both there, but you'll only see Red pop up if he wakes up during the Den rolls. 😁
Ah... OK, so a sleeping bear is completely off the map. If you can see it, then it is awake. Got it. Thank-you.
Your card was "roots"! I have added it to your inventory.
I think you are in a good position to head for the goal when you can change directions again. You have fish to put fin to sleep plus your flute which will work on any bear. 😁

Thanks! I was expecting to possibly go in a circle with a bear chasing me, then make a dash for the goal.

.Player 1
Eeep! There are a couple of bears in front of me... so I'm outta here!
Today's action : Rolled a 4.
Move 1 square East
Move 3 squares North
Go go go go go!
You can't change direction unless you're on a square with more than one path forward, a den, or a cardinal symbol. You'll have to just keep moving forward and hope the numbers are in your favour. 😭
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I forgot about that. That's such a good rule... I'll have to be way more strategic.
Omg, so your 4 landed you directly on Coco. You would have been eaten but I pulled your card and it was "nuts". You are so lucky. 😭 I think Blueberry might catch you though if she rolls higher than 3. If your luck holds out, you'll hop over her and she'll head for me lmao.
!BEER
I can hop over bears? THIS GAME IS THE BEST!
