Game types and goals

Goals - how a game is won

• Defeat the enemy

  The last team with animals left wins. This is always true, whatever else the game has as a goal.

• Hold the flags

  Flags mark points. A team that has animals within 1 tile of a flag and no enemy there holds it and scores 1 point per round. The first team to reach the target score wins.

• Retrieve the flag

  The flag lies in Team 1's base. The attackers pick it up by stepping on it and win by carrying it into their own base; the defenders win by defeating the carrier, all attackers, or by holding out for the round limit.

• Find the flag

  The flag lies hidden on one of several marked places (?). Search with your fast and far-seeing animals; whoever picks it up and carries it into their own base wins. A defeated carrier drops it where it fell. No capture until the round limit: a draw. Best played with fog of war.

Game types - how a game is played

• One team after the other

  Teams take turns. In your turn each animal may act once (move, then attack) as long as you have command points.

• Fog of war

  You only see what your animals see; forests hide animals. Moves cannot be undone in fog games.

• Chess

  A small board, one command per turn and one life per animal - every hit that lands is a kill.

• Random maps

  A new fair (mirrored) map every time, with terrain, two fords and two flags.
