Beast Awakening is a turn-based, one-vs-many multiplayer game of deadly hide-and-seek, where every move counts.
Inspired by Nordic folklore, it draws you into a dark world where ancient creatures roam and the lines between right and wrong begin to blur.
Experience exciting asymmetrical play, where Hunters cooperate to track and defeat the Beast, while the Beast uses stealth and cunning to evade and ambush the Hunters. Draft from a shared pool of Action Cards, each with different effects depending if played by Beast or Hunter - choose wisely, or arm your enemy.
Play as the Beast - stay hidden, deceive, and strike at the perfect moment.
Or team up as Hunters - gather clues, anticipate the Beast’s path, and take it down before it’s too late.
The Beast leaves traces, summoning minions, and revealing only hints of its movement.
Hunters must use strategy and teamwork to uncover and outwit it.
Play as diverse Hunters with unique abilities and team synergies, or embody the ancient and godlike Beast. Each role offers a vastly different perspective and strategy. Play unfolds in rounds with two actions per turn, so make them count.
With varied scenarios and shifting objectives, two games will never play out the same.
Released in 2023 and translated to 12 languages, the original board game Beast was a tremendous success, paving the way for two more expansions, Shattered Isles and The Great Hunt. Now is your chance to once again hunt...
