Many cards in Tanglewoods: Gold have daytime and nighttime faces.

All of these cards begin the game with their daytime side face-up. However, through the course of play, many will flip to their nighttime sides. This makes the game progressively harder.

Different cards can be in different daytime or nighttime states without issue. That is to say, just because some card or effect may instruct you to place or flip one forest card to daytime or nighttime, no other cards are necessarily affected unless you are otherwise instructed.

Importantly, when you discard a card with daytime and nighttime sides, don’t flip it over unless specifically instructed to do so, such as being bribed, or as with enemies and fables during Cleanup. Rather, leave it with its current side face-up, even though this creates discard piles with different cards faced in different directions. Leave these discards’ facings alone even when reshuffling them to form new decks. In this way, daytime will gradually be replaced by nighttime over the course of a game.
