Lignum (Second Edition)

Manage a 19th-century lumber operation by deploying workers, acquiring tools, and securing cutting rights across the forest. Players move along a supply path each round, hire contract workers, fell and transport timber, and decide whether to process wood at their mill or sell it raw, balancing cash flow, equipment upgrades, and storage for winter. An added layer lets players build special buildings and recruit joiners that grant persistent abilities and additional income when supplied with specific wood types, forcing long-term planning and careful resource optimization.
