About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever felt like nature is being pushed to the sidelines? Well, in Savage, the animals have had enough of human expansion and have decided it's time to strike back! You step into the role of an animal resistance leader with one clear mission: reclaim territories and push humanity out of their habitats. But don't expect a walk in the park; the competition among the animal factions is absolutely fierce!
This is a fast-paced card game where every card in your hand serves a strategic purpose. You generally have two main paths to victory: you can focus on building massive animal groups to launch heavy attacks against human cities, securing large territories, or you can play a more surgical game. By forming harmonious groups from the same habitat, you can conquer smaller locations to rack up bonus points.
Here is the kicker: you aren't just fighting the human expansion; you are fighting the other players! If a rival is about to dominate a territory, you can use your cards to strike them directly or even snatch away what they just conquered. It's the ultimate 'take that' experience! With variable player powers that change the dynamic every time you play, you'll need to master hand management to decide whether to focus on the humans or sabotage your neighbors. If you love quick games, high player interaction, and a touch of chaos where no one is truly safe, Savage is definitely for you!
