The Wolves - A strategy game where you build a pack of wolves

Nature's struggle for survival on your desktop

The Wolves is a pack-building strategy game for 2-5 players that explores the struggle for survival of wolves in the wild. Players take on the role of pack leader, expanding their territory, recruiting lone wolves, and hunting prey to build the most powerful and dominant pack.

In this game where the harsh laws of nature rule, strategic thinking and forward planning are the keys to victory. Carefully consider your options, as expanding into rival active terrain risks uprooting members of your pack.

Game Features

A clever action selection mechanism

At the heart of The Wolves is an ingenious action selection system. To perform each action, you must flip over the terrain tile that corresponds to the terrain you wish to perform that action on. This double-sided tile system adds strategic depth, as your current action choice directly impacts your options in the next round.

Pack Attribute Upgrade

By performing actions that expand your swarm's control over each region, you will upgrade your swarm's attributes, allowing you to take more aggressive actions and have a greater impact on the game's outcome.

Scoring System

There are three scoring triggers throughout the game that calculate the presence of wolf packs in specific areas of the map, with strategic territorial expansion being key as the player with the most dominant pack will earn the most points.

Interactive Gameplay

There is a lot of tactics between players, and you must always be aware of your opponent's movements through the area control mechanism. The board state changes significantly between your turns, so you need to be flexible in adjusting your strategy.

Randomized Map Design

The modular board design changes every time you play, providing a fresh strategic challenge, ensuring you'll never get bored and always have something new to discover.

Game Flow

Players can choose from five main actions:

• Migration - Expanding the herd into new territories
• Building a Den - Establishing your sphere of influence
• Build a roost - Create a special wolf den
• Howl - Recruiting a lone wolf to join your pack
• Dominating your opponent's wolves - Pulling wolves from rival packs

Each player board has six double-sided tiles that are used to pay the cost of actions. Flipping a tile changes your options for the next round, so planning ahead is key.

The game includes the following components:

• There are two types of wolf pieces: Pack Wolf (small piece) and Alpha Wolf (large piece).
