Creature Caravan

Players guide a traveling caravan through a dangerous fantasy landscape, rescuing and recruiting wandering creatures and escorting them to safety in a distant city. On each turn players build a personal tableau of creature cards, place dice on actions, move their caravan on a shared map, and play new creature cards. A shared market and white towers offer opportunities to trade goods, gain coin, and seek special rewards, while periodic encounters with ember zombies require combat or avoidance. Simultaneous turns support one to four players without lengthening play; the game ends when a caravan reaches the city and points are tallied from rescued creatures, market gains, and objectives.
