Gruff: Whispers of Madness

In a world where shepherds weaponize mutated monster goats, players lead teams of Gruffs into tactical combat against rival herds and trolls. The card-based battles use positioning and timing to create constant attack and counterplay, allowing players to dodge, defend, and retaliate before attacks connect. A Sanity and Madness mechanic adds another layer to each confrontation. The game supports competitive matches for up to four players, including free-for-all and two-versus-two formats. It also includes solo and cooperative scenarios in which players face trolls with distinct challenges, supporting the established Gruff rules system and other games in the series.
