The board is laid out with a tree in each corner and a clearing in the centre. Players move along pathways that connect the different areas, and they follow printed directions, which include both forfeits and rewards. In the middle of each outer edge is a store comprising four oval spaces on which players place the food they have gathered. The playing pieces represent four woodland animals: a wood mouse, a red squirrel, a bank vole and a harvest mouse.","physicalDescription":"Design: printed paper on card, folded, backed with green paper; path to be followed has illustrations of animals and trees\nNo. of squares: n/a\nSquares illustrated: none\nSquare numbering: none \nSquares titled: some\nSubject of starting square: n/a\nSubject of ending square: n/a","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Squirrel Publishing","id":"A12442"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"AAT25574"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Paper fiber product","id":"AAT14109"},{"text":"card","id":"x30344"}],"techniques":[{"text":"printing","id":"AAT53319"},{"text":"mounting","id":"AAT81370"},{"text":"lining","id":"AAT162124"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Printed paper mounted on card, backed with paper","categories":[{"text":"Games","id":"THES48947"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"YVA","id":"THES48593"},"images":["2006AU4174"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"SR054","id":"THES342084"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Board game","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1984","earliest":"1984-01-01","latest":"1984-12-31"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Bob Westley","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"27.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"37.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"31","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"box","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"20.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"box","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"A wood mouse, together with a red squirrel, bank vole and a harvest mouse are featured in the Wild Wood.
