Den of Wolves - New Eden strategic game
In this game you will play a member of a space fleet, survivors of a massive attack from the nation of Wolf - decimating and subjugating the other settled worlds. Together you will be trying to survive in space, flee further Wolf attacks and find a new home for your people - a New Eden.
The game runs for 8 to 18 players over 3 to 4 hours, split into 8 turns. The game plays in real time, so managing your time and delegating tasks is an important part of the game.
Each player will be assigned a role of one of the survivor fleet space ships and must work together to succeed. Each ship represents a team of players and each come from a different nation or colony from before the attack.
Beware, however, Wolf planted agents throughout the colonies before the attack and it’s highly probable that some will be hiding amongst other players in the fleet!
This session is ideal for young people that enjoy strategic game play, such as Dungeons and Dragons.
