A World Lit by the Aurora

Hidden deep within mystical northern forests lives Tulikko, the Fire Fox—a legendary spirit whose blazing tail sparks the aurora borealis as it races through the trees. In Tulikko, players explore these enchanted woods, uncovering the secrets of animal spirits while shaping a vibrant wilderness of color, pattern, and light.

Tulikko is a 2–4 player tile-laying game that plays in about 20 minutes. On your turn, you’ll slide forest tiles through a shared central board, ejecting a tile to add to your personal wilderness map. Where you place that tile and what it touches determines whether you add animal tokens, river tokens, or trigger powerful one-time Aurora abilities.

Players race to be the first to place all of their tokens whilst balancing completing spatial objectives. The result is a fast-moving, interactive puzzle with just the right amount of player tension and tactical flexibility!

Wonderful cozy game with beautiful pieces and perfect complexity level!

Tulikko is one of those games that you just want to play again and again and again.That's for several reasons: 1. it is BEAUTIFUL! Every game pieve is an artistic creation of great quality! 2. the game play is easy enough for everyone to catch on quickly but engaging and complex enough to come up with a strategy of your own for the next game.3. you get that "if I only did this instead of that, ok next time!" feeling after every game. Two, three or four player this is so much fuuun and the unique, innovative system the center board is using is adds a fantastic, curious level of functionality to the whole experience!

Beautiful Family Game

The artwork is beautiful, especially on the iridescent cover. I loved the whimsical style on the trees and boards. The tiles are sturdy, the tokens are chunky and it is all put together with care. I had fun to learning the legend of the Tulikko and I would have loved to learn the lore behind the other spirit animals as well.

Gameplay is faster and simpler than expected. The central board definitely adds a new element over just straight drafting. Since there are only 12 turns, it is impossible to fill your entire board, meaning you have to be strategic as to which objectives you try to complete. Some of the aurora tiles grant pretty powerful rewards, so they’re pretty important to chase.

Our first game was over in about 15 minutes, so we reset and immediately played again. I like that there are a variety of objective cards, adding some variety while keeping it easy to learn. I was even able to teach my 7 year old, who enjoyed it (although we played without aurora tiles for the first game).

Overall, I think it is a lovely, family weight game for when you want something a little lighter or to be able to play multiple games in a night.

  • Beautiful art steals the show

    The iridescent cover and whimsical forest tiles make Tulikko one of the most visually striking games on any shelf.
  • Shared board creates delicious tension

    Every tile you slide through the central board affects what your opponents can access, turning simple turns into layered tactical decisions.
  • Done in 20 minutes, play again immediately

    The strict 12-turn limit keeps games brisk, and the "just one more round" pull is nearly impossible to resist.

How to play Tulikko

ADD TO CART

It's really fun, it's straightforward. It's easy to pick up and very fast to learn. Interesting game of tile-placement.

It’s hard to come by a game that you immediately want to play more of on the same night, but this game does just that!

I am very impressed by this one and can see it being a mainstay in my collection.

Tulikko is absolutely gorgeous and wonderfully produced! Tulikko is a keeper in my collection!

This is a wonderful family game with amazing components and beautiful art that we would gladly play any night of the week.
