20 Strong: Tanglewoods Red

Discarding & Reshuffling

menu

Tanglewoods: Red has many different decks, and each one behaves a little differently. This section summarizes the rules for how each deck’s discard pile behaves, and what happens if you need to draw from a given deck but it has been exhausted.

Wolf Pack Deck: When wolf pack cards are defeated, put them in the Wolf Pack Deck discard. This deck is never reshuffled.

Minion Deck: When these cards are discarded for whatever reason (bribed, defeated, or otherwise addressed), place them into the Minion Deck discard, enemy-side up. If the Minion Deck is ever empty (including if you are allowed to see more cards in the scouting line than remain in the deck), immediately reshuffle the discard to form a new deck.

Item Cards: When item cards are discarded for any reason, place them in the Item Deck discard with their ordinary (orange) sides face-up. If you need to draw from this deck but it’s empty, reshuffle the discard to form a new deck.

Forest Cards: Move the forest cards you’ve passed through into an out-of-play pile to preserve table space. Just make sure to avoid flipping them because their daytime or nighttime state may be relevant later on. When the forest cards run out, that means the game is nearly over and all you have left to do is reach Grandma’s Cabin. There is never a forest card discard, nor are the forest cards ever reshuffled.
