Nature of the Beast: Farm vs. Forest
An expandable card game about rival animal factions competing for control of their fields. Players recruit animals, promote leaders, acquire equipment, discover locations, enlist legendary creatures, and befriend human allies. Players track Favor, which represents their influence with humanity, and Fury, which rises through attacks and enables Dark Nature cards. Excessive Fury can eliminate a player. This Battle Box includes 70-card Farm and Forest faction decks: Farm animals are balanced and adept with Dark Nature cards, while Forest animals focus on combat and have little interaction with humanity. The first player to control their entire field wins.

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...
