In Wolfsspuren you play a pack of wolves. Each player plays, at most, three wolves, either female or male in a pack that is played together. The higher you are in the ranking of the pack the more victory points you get, but the pack have to cooperate to some degree to ensure their survival. Thus there is a mixture between cooperation and competition. You play influence points from 1 to 15 in five different areas, maximum 5 per wolf. The higher the value, the more strength you lose. If strength is zero, the wolf dies. The five different areas are: -Children growth -Single hunt (rabbits and other small animals) gives personal strength -Group hunt (hunt deer etc.) -Howl (get new big animals) -Fight (get a higher rank)
