Raptor

2015 · Fighting

Raptor

A mother raptor has escaped and nested in a park while scientists try to neutralize her and capture the baby raptors before they scatter into the forest. Players split into two sides: one controls the scientists with jeeps, fire, and reinforcements; the other controls the mother raptor and her offspring with hiding, frightening cries, and calls to the babies. Play is card-driven and tactical: each round both players secretly choose a card to determine actions and movement, with the lower card enabling its action and the opponent gaining movement or attack points equal to the difference between the cards. The game emphasizes positioning, timing, and bluffing as sides maneuver, attack, and attempt captures.
