The Wolves

Players lead rival wolf packs across a changing landscape, recruiting lone wolves, claiming territory, and hunting prey to build the most dominant pack over a moon cycle. Actions are chosen by flipping double-sided terrain tiles that determine which regions are available now and which will be available next, so current plays shape future options. Packs gain upgrades that unlock stronger actions, and opponents can lure members away by controlling favorable terrain. Three mid-game scoring rounds award regional power, and final scoring totals VP tokens plus the highest values on six player-board tracks to determine the winner.

    Beautiful game with high quality components! One of the best adaptations for the wild nature, well tested and works with 2 players too. Szórakozás 4/5 · Interakció 4/5 · Vonzerő 5/5 · Egyediség 5/5 · Újrajátszhatóság 4/5 · Hozzáférhetőség 5/5
