Folks know Elliott and I like the Nature of the Beast series from Eye-Level Entertainment and following a successful Kickstarter run and – a few bumps in the production road – NotB: Prairie Vs. Polar is now available! Of course you’re going to miss out on the promo cards (including cards representing contest winners for backers’ favorite podcasts: The Dice Tower and the two yahoos who run this here site…) but there’s still plenty in the upscaled edition of the game. Now you can take your animal battles to new heights (and more players) for a mere $29.95.
From Eye-Level:
In Nature of the Beast, you will take control of an animal army fighting for total domination! Be the first to fill your playing field with animals and claim victory! In the process, you’ll be solving a challenging puzzle as you try to move your recruits as permitted to fill the empty spaces in your field. Be warned though, unless you control your combative instincts you may lose everything to your Dark Nature…
Nature of the Beast (NotB) is a strategic expandable card game available in three exciting Battle Boxes. Each Battle Box is a stand-alone, two-player game.
‘Forest vs. Farm’ pits the combative animals of the woods against the treacherous animals of rural America.
‘City vs. Suburb’ sets the street-wise animals of the concrete jungle versus the tricky animals of suburbia.
‘Prairie vs. Polar’ introduces two new armies into the secret animal wars.
Nature of the Beast is a non-collectible card game. That means no need to buy booster packs. We give you all the cards. No rarities. Just a sweet self-contained game for two people (or four if you buy another box).
Race to fill your playing field by shifting your animals around. Animals’ movement is governed by differing combinations of arrows on each card, so as you play the puzzle changes!
Winning means playing smart to fill your field, not playing ‘whack-a-mole’ against your opponent. With each attack, you risk driving your army into the sinister region of ‘Dark Nature’. While an easy path to more power, this can lead to the destruction of your army if allowed to go too far!
The ONLY game where a hamster can take out her opponent’s playground with a gasoline can! Nature of the Beast is a serious strategy game that you can actually get a couple chuckles from while playing and it won’t cost you a fortune to play.
