In this game, you are a leader of a group of fantastic creatures in a world where civilization is surrounded by creature-infested wilderness. Your goal is to get the biggest number of creatures in your group. At the start of the game the players decide on a number of creature that they need to get to win and the first player to get those creature and return to start wins. In the setup cards are distributed into numerous piles. Each turn, players can travel to adjacent piles and decide whether to encounter a creature there. By putting forward the best creatures for each encounter, you can befriend and recruit new creatures or battle and subdue them. Your success depends on whether they like each other, what the creatures are good and bad at fighting, and what type of creatures they are. Remembering the characteristics of the other creatures that have been encountered can help you to strategically match creatures in an encounter so as to grow your group. Players may also encounter each other and trade or battle.
