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.)
 
== Glossary ==
 
The following terms are used in Logger:
 
'''Tree''' - Any seedling, sapling or mature tree on the board.
 
'''Seedling''' - A large pyramid
 
'''Sapling''' - A large pyramid with a medium pyramid stacked on it
 
'''Mature Tree''' - A stack of pyramids. From top to bottom: small, medium, large.
 
'''Protester''' - Denoted by a volcano cap
 
'''Logger''' - A piece representing the player. Denoted by a medium pyramid of a color not used for trees. Non-Icehouse pieces like meeples may be also used.

== 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.

Note: the color of pyramids in the common pool does not matter. For trees, only the size is important.
 
== Goal ==
Line 154 ⟶ 173:
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.
