End of the Game and Scoring
When Forestry ends and how to score: buildings, water structures and river tokens, task cards, the forester majority, unused resources, wood in storage, and the tie-breakers.
End of the game
When the first player reveals the last game round token, every player takes one final turn. The game ends when the last player has spent all their action points.
Score in this order, using the back of the reference tile, and move your scoring token around the score track. Past 50, flip it to its 50+ side.
Final scoring
| # | Category | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Buildings | The value under your rightmost empty space on the buildings track |
| 2 | Water structures | Matching items for each river token × your multiplier |
| 3 | Task cards | By the number of fulfilled task cards |
| 4 | Forestry table | Most forester tokens 10, second 6, third 2 |
| 5 | Unused resources | 1 VP per 3 resources, coins and unfulfilled task cards |
| 6 | Wood tokens | 1 VP per wood token in storage |
Points scored during the game (contracts,
immediate VP, reward-track VP) are already on
the track.
Buildings
Score the value under the rightmost space you have emptied on your buildings track — only that number, not one per building.
| Buildings used | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VP | 1 | 2 | 4 | 7 | 7 (+1 water step) | 10 |
The fifth space shows no points: it moves your water structures track up a step instead, so five buildings still score 7.
Water structures
For each river token you hold (from building water structures):
- Count the items you have that match its symbol.
- Multiply by your water structures track multiplier (1× to 5×).
| River token symbol | Counts |
|---|---|
| Your fulfilled contracts of that category | |
| Upgraded sawmill | Sawmill buildings you upgraded |
| Forest buildings | Forest buildings you built |
| 2 forester tokens | Every 2 forester tokens you hold |
| 2 seedlings | Every 2 seedlings on your reforestation table |
The symbol on the river token doesn’t count itself. Tokens below the tables count.
Task cards
Match each kept task card to its goal — each card needs its own item — then score by the number fulfilled:
| Fulfilled task cards | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | each more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VP | 1 | 3 | 5 | 8 | +3 |
For example, 5 fulfilled task cards score 11 VP; unfulfilled cards instead count as unused resources (FAQ).
Forestry table
Count all your forester tokens, on the forestry table and below the reforestation table. Most: 10 VP, second: 6 VP, third: 2 VP. Tied players add up the points of the tied places and share them equally, rounded down. A player with no forester tokens scores nothing here.
Unused resources
Add up construction materials, seedlings, temp workers, coins and unfulfilled task cards: 1 VP for each full set of 3.
Wood tokens
1 VP for each wood token still in your storage.
Tie-breaker
The most points wins. If tied, in order:
- Most seedlings planted.
- Most fulfilled contracts.
- Most fulfilled task cards.
