Welcome to the Northern Expanse, a mystical and dangerous place where nature pushes back against human settlements. To protect themselves, humans enlist hunters who must track and kill the powerful Beasts. The game uses a deck of direction cards for movement and tricky strategies to hide the Beast's location. Players must carefully choose and use action cards in a draft to work together as hunters or outmaneuver the others as the Beast.

Beast is a one-vs-many hidden movement and combat game, where a hunter's greatest strength is their teamwork. Alone, and they will simply be prey for the Beast!
