This is a stand-alone sequel to Kingdom of Cutetopia. Unlike the former, which was draw-one-card, play-one-card, Forest of Shadows involves exploring an 8x5 grid of forest cards to find 7 treasure cards, defeat monsters, and battle other players, similar to a dungeon crawl. Each player is dealt 5 item cards, then 7 cards are removed from the Forest deck, with the 4 character cards being added; then the deck is shuffled and laid out in an 8x5 grid face-down. Players take turns moving around the grid by swapping places with another card, drinking potions to increase number of moves and playing weapon cards to defeat monsters. When all 7 treasures have been claimed, any player can swap with the Exit card to end the game. The person with the most treasures wins.
