did you use the i icon on the lower left corner? it will help you understand the game. you can get wood from Fields and forest depending on what number got rolled by the dice.
I did, but I still don't understand how to get more wood. I keep getting stuck in a state where there's nothing I can do but lose. If I have no wood there doesn't seem to be a way to get more.
yes if you dont have any wood you practically lost. But if you place a Field/Forest on your Foep/ moving table you never lose the source for wood. you can also click multiple times on the info for more tips.
