Nature of the Beast: City vs. Suburb
An expandable card game about animal factions competing for control of their territory. Players recruit animals, promote leaders, acquire equipment, discover locations, enlist legendary creatures, and befriend human allies while managing Favor and Fury. Favor measures influence with humanity, while Fury rises through attacks and can unlock Dark Nature cards; accumulating too much Fury can eliminate a player. This battle box includes 70-card City and Suburb faction decks. City animals are tough and closely connected to humanity, while Suburb animals rely on cunning. The decks integrate with other faction sets in the series.

Tom5.2 The first CCG-type game I've played in a long while that focuses on the game mechanics itself rather than the deck-building. See my review for more details...
