The object of Fir is to assemble the most legendary band of loggers in the Pacific Northwest. To win, players must shrewdly manage their timbermen and homesteads to earn the most myth points (mp) over five rounds.
During the game, you task your workers with all manner of awe-inspiring labor, from felling fir trees and driving logs to milling timber and stoking steam donkeys! To succeed, you must put your workers in harm's way. Bumps and bruises will take their toll and send many loggers to an early grave. But do not despair! Injured workers will enter trade buildings where they become foreman, freeing you up to recruit day laborers, flip flapjacks, or moonlight as an impresario.
Players who move timber along the supply chain and compete in logging games will earn valuable resources that will help them improve their homesteads. Will you tend to corn and chickens, build bunks and barns, or furnish the river with bridges and rocker boxes? Your chore list is as tall as the day is long! A trip to the trading post will pay huge dividends, while a visit to vaudeville might strand you on skid row.
So grab your axe and pike, muster your morale and might, then marvel your fellow timbermen with exploits of mythic proportions!
