Timberland is a German family board game from 1989 about managing a woodland the way it was done in the old days. Designed by Klaus Teuber with artwork by Walter Matheis and published by HABA, it is for two to four players aged eight and up and takes about half an hour. Play is driven by cards and follows the four seasons. Fruit falls from the trees in autumn, and in winter wild boar eat the fruit and run through the woods leaving seeds behind them. In spring and summer those seeds grow into trees, and the trees are then cut down by an axe-wielding woodcutter. Players choose cards and steer the boar and the woodcutter around the board, aiming to finish with the largest stand of contiguous trees. The mechanics listed for it are auction or bidding and hand management.
