20 Strong: Tanglewoods Gold

About this expansion

20 Strong: Tanglewoods Gold is a solo board game for 1 player, with an approximately 60-minute play time. Lost in the woods, you are searching for a comfortable bed and a bowl of hot porridge while three apex predators search for you.

Tanglewoods Gold is one deck in the Tanglewoods trilogy for the solo-player 20 Strong system. Every deck in the series uses the same basic rules, a single set of 20 dice, and one chip, while adding its own rules and twists to create a distinct play experience.

To play, you progress through a shuffled deck of cards. Each card presents a unique challenge, which may be an enemy, a special scenario, or another requirement. Your aim is to meet the demands of each challenge as you make your way through the deck.

• Solo play: Designed for one player.
• Challenge deck: Progress through shuffled cards featuring enemies, scenarios, and other requirements.
• Dice-driven tests: Roll dice to earn the successes needed to complete challenges.
• 20 Strong system: Play with 17 dice offering varying odds of hitting, plus 3 adjustable stat dice.
• Shared foundation, unique twists: Tanglewoods Gold uses the core system while adding deck-specific rules.

Challenges usually require a certain number of successes. Those successes come from rolling the dice, combining the 17 dice with varying hit odds and the 3 adjustable stat dice that complete the system’s “20.”

With its compact dice system, shuffled challenges, and woodland predicament, 20 Strong: Tanglewoods Gold offers a focused solo experience built around deciding how to face each card and its requirements.
