Description
Beasts: Edge of Extinction is a wild and intense card game where you'll take on the role of a prehistoric predator fighting for survival. You'll be up against 1 to 5 other players, all vying to be the last beast standing. The game is set in a world where catastrophic events and fierce competitors are lurking around every corner, and you'll need to use your wits and a bit of luck to come out on top. With each character having unique abilities and resistances to different types of damage, you'll need to think strategically about how to use your action points to attack, defend, and scavenge for food. The game mechanics are simple to learn, but that doesn't mean it's going to be a straightforward battle. You'll need to balance strategy and luck as you navigate the game's unique order of events and blind resource draw. This means that no two games will ever be the same, keeping things exciting and unpredictable. Your character will have a special ability that can only be used once per game, so you'll need to choose wisely when to use it. And with a T-Rex constantly on the prowl, looking for its next meal, you'll need to stay on your toes to avoid becoming its next victim. Whether you're feeding on scavenged food or helpless dodos, or using your action points to increase your resistance and attack power, every decision counts in this high-stakes game of survival. With playtime varying from 15 to 60 minutes, Beasts: Edge of Extinction is the perfect game for a quick showdown or a longer, more epic battle. Designed by Derek Zyn and published in 2019, this game has been thrilling players with its unique blend of action, strategy, and luck. So gather your friends, choose your beast, and get ready to fight for survival on the edge of extinction. Will you be the last one standing, or will you become just another extinct species? There's only one way to find out.
