Nature of the Beast: Prairie vs. Polar

A strategy game about recruiting animals and taking control of a shared playing field. Players fill their fields with animals while promoting leaders, purchasing equipment, discovering locations, enlisting legendary animals, and befriending human allies. Players track Favor, representing their influence with humanity, and Fury, which increases when attacking opponents. Fury enables Dark Nature cards but can also eliminate a player if it rises too high. This Battle Box includes Prairie and Polar faction decks, with Prairie animals acting as clever opportunists and Polar animals as pragmatic survivalists. The first player to fill their field wins.
