[Official] Beast + Shattered Isles

Description




Welcome to the Northern Expanse, a place where nature is still unexplored, mystical and dangerous. When the humans first arrived, they thought they found an unspoiled paradise, filled with bountiful forests, lakes swimming with fish and cold freshwater flowing from the mountains. But as their settlements expanded and the surrounding forests grew thinner, nature itself pushed back. Great creatures known as Beasts emerged, and with their fangs, claws and mystical powers, they proved an incredible threat to the humans. In order to protect the settlements, humans enlisted specialized hunters, tasked with tracking and killing the Beasts before too many of their kin perish.

Beast is a one-vs-many type of game, in which one player takes the role of a Beast; a giant, godlike creature who wants to fend off the humans invading her domains. All other players take the role of hunters, who cooperate in an epic hunt to track and kill the Beast.






Hidden movement
The Beast uses a deck of direction cards to move over forests, swamps and caverns, using guile and deceit to hide its track from the hunters. However, whenever a hunter moves over a location where the Beast has previously been, a trail appears. Only when a hunter searches a location or the Beast itself attacks an unsuspecting target is the Beast's actual position revealed. More so, each hunter has but one chance of searching each round, making it a tense and difficult decision. Hunters seldom have full information whether the trail they’re pursuing contains the Beast’s actual location, or if the trail has already gone cold.

Asymmetrical Drafting
Each action you perform in this game is done by playing a card from your hand (up to a maximum of two cards per turn). This means that if a player wants to search, attack or move, they need to have a card in their hand that lets them do that. Before each round, both hunters and Beast participate in a draft for the most important cards. All action cards can be used by both Beast and hunters alike.

Teamwork above all
In order to win this game, you either need to cooperate every step of the way if you play as a hunter, or skillfully outmaneuver your opponents if you play as Beast. On their own, hunters are never stronger than the Beast. Only when hunters communicate, strategize and combine their actions can they bring down the Beast before it’s too late.

Welcome to Shattered Isles...
...a broken world plagued by a dark past. After the humans managed to kill the Beast known as the Feathered King, the world was met with disaster. A cataclysmic event known as The Great Cleansing drowned half of the world, and countless human lives were lost. To find a way to fight back against the Beasts and avoid the horrors that follow after killing a god, humans set sail towards the mysterious Shattered Isles.

The Abyssal Spire
Something happened here long ago. Remnants of a previous human civilization can be found almost everywhere: a zealous group that lived in devotion and fear of the Beasts that ruled this world. Ruins of an ancient past reveal a tragic event: in an all-encompassing ritual, humans attempted to gain control, but instead, they all vanished. Inside a massive tower known as The Abyssal Spire lie the dark secrets of the past. The arriving humans believe the tower holds the knowledge and power they need to get rid of the Beasts once and for all, but unknown to them, something far more sinister is locked inside.

Is there a "How to" guide for the game? Was incredibly excited since I own the game but moved away from my weekly boardgame group. But after loading a game and the players and clicking ready, can't figure out how to actually start the game. Never moves past the second player.

Just saw the Talduk fix. Great work!

Three gripes:

1. After some testing, I'm quite certain that an error pops up when purple hunter is Eivind in a 2 player game. Here's the error message.

Error in Script (Board -437cd7) function<dealCards>:chunk_4:(524,22-32): cannot convert a nil to a clr type UnityEngine.Vector3

2. Why are The Great Hunt duo in the selection when neither works?

3. Fara's set up doesn't seem to work under any circumstances.

Appreciate the work in advance,

Thanks for reporting! I have updated the mod with a fix :) Should work now

And happy that you are enjoying the game!

This digital import made me buy the physical game. Thank you for such a great game.

However, there's a minor problem with this mod. Choosing marduk doesnt bring up his kit to the player. I tried his guid with vacker's then it worked. So I'm guessing somewhere in his set up function is faulty. There's no error message popping up, meaning the function 'worked' but not in the way we want it to.

It's not game breaking but would help if you could fix this.

I have an issue with the Upper Shattered Isles: the mod tries to load it, but it doesn't work (stay on "Loading 0/1..."). The other maps are loaded properly.
