Description

A fantasy wargame, The Beastlord involves hidden movement (using dummy counters), magic, spies, ambushes, goblins, elves and monsters of all sorts. The map shows the entire valley where the action takes place at the "strategic" level, and close-up tactical maps used to resolve the specific encounters (somewhat like Titan's main map and battle lands). The players pursue different victory point schedules, drawn from a set of cards --so you're never quite sure what the other players are after, this time. Best bet is to wipe them all out.
