Description
What happens when the
hunter becomes the hunted? In Tally Ho
one player takes the role of the hunters and the lumberjacks; the other takes
the role of the foxes and bears. Both players hunt each other. At first, the
forest lies peacefully under the face down tiles. As the tiles get flipped over and moved around the board, the forest awakens and the hunt destroys the
serenity of the forest. The lumberjacks cut down and remove trees to open swaths through the forest to
provide hunting fields for the hunters. The bears then use these same aisles to
track the hunters and the lumberjacks. Unfortunately for the ducks and pheasants they can be caught and eaten by the foxes or caught in the cross hairs of the hunter. The two sides are balanced with luck
dominating the early game, but skill taking over at the end. Good hunting!
