Chupacabra: Survive the Night

Players inhabit a rural landscape haunted by a nocturnal predator from folklore and roll glow-in-the-dark dice to steal livestock from opponents. Each player rolls six dice and uses rolled predator faces to capture chickens, goats, and bulls according to set capture rules: one predator can take up to two chickens or one goat, while two predators together can claim a bull. Animal groups are protected when rolled as a set, so matching animals defends holdings against theft. Rolling an entire hand of predator faces triggers a special “loco” ability that lets that player seize all animals of one type from another player. Play continues until only one player retains mammals.
