Welcome to the Northern Expanse, a place where nature is still unexplored, mystical and dangerous. When humans first arrived, they thought they found an unspoiled paradise, but as their settlements expanded, nature itself pushed back. Great creatures known as Beasts emerged, determined to protect their land. One player will take on the role of the Beast, while the other players work together as skilled hunters. The Beast uses a deck of direction cards to move over forests, swamps, and caverns, using guile and deceit to hide its tracks from the hunters. Hunters have one chance to search each round, making it a tense decision as they follow the trail.
