Description
In The Alpha, you'll lead your wolf pack through the forest, competing with other packs to claim territory and score food. The game is simple to learn, but don't let that fool you - with mechanics like Area Majority and Prisoner's Dilemma, there's plenty of strategy to sink your teeth into. You'll send your wolves to hunt in different regions, trying to outnumber rival packs and become dominant in the area. As you navigate the four stages of the hunt, you'll need to make tough decisions about whether to fight or share food with other packs. With 3 to 6 players and a playtime of just 20 to 45 minutes, The Alpha is a quick and exciting game that's perfect for a group of friends or family. Will your pack come out on top and be declared The Alpha after 5 weeks of hunting and competing? There's only one way to find out.
