Description

In Defenders of the Wild, a cooperative board game for 1 to 4 players, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure to save the Commonwood from an army of machines powered by corrupted magic. As one of four unique factions, each with its own strengths and abilities, you'll assemble a crew of animal defenders to resist the machine occupation across a modular map that changes with each game. With a playtime of 60 to 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the world and work together with your fellow players to outsmart the enemy. As you navigate the changing landscape, you'll need to manage your action points, construct decks, and utilize hand management to clear pollution, fight mechs, breach walls, and rewild factories. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to fans of board games, and the variable player powers add a layer of depth to the gameplay. With the fate of the Commonwood hanging in the balance, can you and your comrades work together to heal the land and defeat the machines, or will the region succumb to an endless industrial winter? Published in 2024 and designed by Henry Audubon and T.L. Simons, Defenders of the Wild offers a unique blend of tactical area control, fantasy adventure, and cooperative gameplay that's sure to captivate players of all ages.
