Board Game Geek Rating: 5.56. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.78. Suitable for 2 to 4 players and published in 2022. This is the Kickstarter Edition of the Beast Board Game by Studio Midhall. It comes with the core game, metal coins, and all unlocked stretch goals. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Enter the Northern Expanse, an untouched, mystical, and perilous land. When humans first arrived, they thought it was a paradise with lush forests, fish - filled lakes, and fresh mountain water. But as their settlements grew, nature fought back. Beasts emerged, posing a huge threat with their fangs, claws, and magical powers. To protect the settlements, humans hired specialized hunters to track and kill the Beasts. The game features hidden movement. The Beast uses direction cards to move secretly through forests, swamps, and caverns. Hunters may find trails when they move over places the Beast has been. The Beast's position is only revealed when a hunter searches or the Beast attacks. Each hunter can search once per round, making it a challenging decision. Hunters often don't know if the trail leads to the Beast. There's also asymmetrical drafting. Players perform actions by playing cards from their hands (up to two per turn). Before each round, both hunters and the Beast draft important cards, and all action cards can be used by both sides. Teamwork is key. Hunters must cooperate to defeat the Beast, while the Beast must outmaneuver the hunters. At TheGameSteward, we're excited to offer this Beast: Core Game Plus Metal Coins Bundle. A large part of your purchase will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have any questions, contact us at The Game Steward.

How to play: First, set up the game board representing the Northern Expanse. Distribute the cards for hunters and the Beast according to the rules. Hunters should work together to communicate and plan their moves. When it's your turn, play cards from your hand to perform actions like moving, searching, or attacking. The Beast uses direction cards to move secretly. Try to stay one step ahead of the hunters or track down the Beast as a hunter. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Maintenance: Keep the game components in a dry and cool place. After each play, make sure to organize the cards and tokens neatly to avoid loss. If the metal coins get dirty, you can clean them gently with a soft cloth.
