FOREST FLOOR
Storyline Campaign
FALL SCENARIO 20.1:
Most Dangerous Hunt, Part 1
The fire destroyed part of the forest. Ash and blacked husks of trees are all that remain. Red Fox’s territory was spared the worst of the damage. But Mountain Lion’s territory was devastated. Moving to find new food, Mountain Lion sniffs the ashy air and catches a familiar scent. Mountain Lion knows Red Fox’s territory is still full of tasty morsels to feast upon. Best of all, Mountain Lion has always enjoyed the taste of carrion, deer, groundhogs, beaver, and . . . foxes!
Objective
Catch all three rabbits before Mountain Lion catches all of his prey.
CHALLENGE
Mountain Lion is hunting in your territory. For this game, Mountain Lion will move on top of the cards, just like Red Fox, and will hunt each of his prey in alphabetical order: first Beaver, then Carrion, then Groundhog, then White-Tailed Deer. Each turn, move Mountain Lion 2 cards closer to his next prey on the quickest 2-card path (not diagonal). If two paths are tied for quickest, you choose the path. Mountain Lion ignores all card abilities, so he may move onto and through any cards on the Forest Floor. He stops immediately when landing on his prey even if he has not yet moved his full 2 cards. Remove that card (because he has caught it!) from the game and replace it with a facedown card from the deck. You lose only if: 1) Mountain Lion moves onto or through the card you currently occupy or, 2) Mountain Lion captures his last prey (White-Tailed Deer) before you have successfully captured 3 rabbits.

FALL SCENARIO 20.1b:
Most Dangerous Hunt, Part 1
Forest Floor setup:
Same as 20.1a; however, remove Crow and Red Fox from the game.
FALL SCENARIO 20.2:
Most Dangerous Hunt, Part 2
Red Fox rushes through the Forest Floor, going as fast as his paws will take him. Mountain Lion has his scent! Red Fox does not dare return to his den just yet: for Mountain Lion would surely devour Vixen and the kits. Pausing only a moment to catch his breath in the undergrowth, Red Fox begins to lead the Mountain Lion on the chase of his life—while also looking for rabbits to eat, of course. Help him avoid the hungry jaws of Mountain Lion.
Objective:
Catch all three rabbits before Mountain Lion completes his brief cycle around the Forest Floor. Also, you lose if, at the end of your turn, Red Fox is in the same row or column as Mountain Lion.
Challenge:
Mountain Lion is now actively hunting you! Mountain Lion is no longer roaming around the outside of your territory; he is now circling the Forest Floor from within your territory. For this game, Mountain Lion will move on top of the cards, just like Red Fox. Mountain Lion ignores all card abilities, so he may move onto and through any cards on the Forest Floor.

FALL SCENARIO 20.3:
Most Dangerous Hunt, Part 3: Canines Unite!
Mountain Lions have no natural predators. They are a dangerous creature that enjoy the hunt and ambush. But the Mountain Lion will retreat should it feel threatened by a larger creature or by large numbers. As Red Fox has not been back to the den for some time, a worried Vixen goes out to find him. Upon catching the Mountain Lion’s scent, Vixen howls, gathering as many other canines as she can. Perhaps working together they can chase away the Mountain Lion for good!
Objective:
Reveal the Coyote and Red Fox cards. You win once you have revealed both fellow canines. You ONLY lose if: 1) at the end of your turn, Vixen is in the same row or column as Mountain Lion (before OR after Mountain Lion moves), 2) Mountain Lion moves onto the card you currently occupy, or 3) Mountain Lion reaches the card with the Fox Den token before you find the Coyote and Red Fox.
Challenge:
Using Vixen, reveal and leave faceup both the Red Fox and Coyote to chase off Mountain Lion. This will send the Mountain Lion a message to stay out of your territory. If Mountain Lion lands on Coyote or Red Fox, it loses a turn. You win once you have revealed both the Red Fox and Coyote cards. Mountain Lion moves on top of the cards this game and ignores all card abilities, so he may move onto and through any cards on the Forest Floor. Ignore all of Coyote’s abilities this game.
NOTE:
You are not catching rabbits this game however you may still attempt to capture them as a strategy to manage your Forest Floor.
