Who it's for

Groups who enjoy fast, decision-driven card games with a bit of mind games and light sabotage, including mixed adult-and-kid tables.

Not for you if…

If you prefer games with deeper long-term strategy or dislike direct player interference like trolls and thieves landing in your park, this stays deliberately quick and scrappy.

Vibe's take

Light and mischievous, decided purely by reading your opponents β€” every round is a quick simultaneous reveal that rewards outguessing the table rather than any dice roll.

About this game

Hunters of the Lost Creatures has you secretly dispatching hunters to Sea, Air, Forest, or Plains to catch creatures for your growing wildlife park β€” but shy creatures flee if more than one hunter shows up in the same spot. There's no dice and no luck involved, just simultaneous guessing about where your rivals will send their hunters. Watch out for trolls, thieves, and tornados that opponents can drop right into your park.
