About the game

What you do in a play session

In *La Meute*, you're a wolf hungry for power. The pack needs a leader, and only the strongest (or sneakiest) will survive. Each round is a series of bloody duels where cards are your weapon — use special effects, bluffing, and a bit of luck to take down rivals. Win duels to become the Alpha, but beware: the top dog becomes everyone's target! Eliminate opponents until you're the last wolf standing. It's fast, brutal, and perfect for groups who love direct confrontation and a backstabbing vibe. There's blood in the air... and you're on the menu.
