Four rival lumberjacks are competing to chop down the most trees for their business. However, standing in their way are tree-hugging hippies protesting the deforestation.

*20 large, 20 medium, and 20 small pyramids in any color(s) to represent trees.
*4 small pyramids in their own distinct color to represent hippies. (That is, distinct from any of the tree-colors you are using.)
*4 of anything in 4 different colors to represent the loggers, one for each player. (In the examples the loggers appear as medium pyramids that are different colors than the trees.)

== Setup ==
 
Place a seedling onin the center square of the board. The remaining pyramid pieces from the Rainbow stash are kept aside in a common pool of tree pieces. Starting with the first player, each player places his logger on a corner of the board. Each player also starts with 1 protester in his or her supply (2 protesters for a 2-player game). Remember who went first as this will be important at the end game.

== Goal ==
Line 88 ⟶ 169:
''Protest'' - You may place one or more protesters from your supply onto mature trees. Protested trees may not be directly chopped down by any player.
 
''Chop'' - Chop down an unprotested mature tree adjacent to your logger by removing it from the board. Chopping will create a domino effect. Any mature tree behind the first chopped tree will also be considered chopped and so on regardless if they have protesters on them not. This process stops when either the edge of the board or a space occupied by anything other than a mature tree is reached. Score 1 point for each mature tree removed in this way. Add any protesters from felled trees to your supply.
 
For example, a given row can have this formation: Player-Mature Tree-Mature Tree-Sapling-Mature Tree. When the player chops the first tree, the second one will be removed as well. However, the domino effect ends at the sapling because it is not fully mature. The sapling and the last mature tree remain on the board.

== End Game ==
Line 96 ⟶ 226:
Logger is a game of equal turns. When a player reaches 10 points, the end game condition is reached. All players who have not had a turn this round will get one final turn. (Example: Player 2 reaches 10 points. Players 3 and 4 will receive one additional turn, but Player 1 does not. However, if Player 4 reaches 10 points, the game ends immediately.)
 
 
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. In case of a tie, the player with more protesters in reserve wins.
