About the game
The Great Hunt is an expansion of the board game Beast, featuring a new Beast called The Feathered King. Starting out as Unborn, The Feathered King is weak at the start of the game until he grows strong and flips to his Reborn side. The Great Hunt introduces the story of Esmeria, a fearless hunter who will not stop until The Feathered King has been killed. One new Beast: Feathered King. This two-sided Beast focuses on summons and stealing resources from his opposing hunters. His dreamers are humans who have been enthralled by his false promises, and perform his dark will only to be sacrifices for his benefit when he sees fit. One new hunter: Esmeria: Captain of the Great Hunt. Esmeria is relentless in her pursuit of Beasts, and can track an unlimited amount of trails to catch up to her prey. With her Black Star upgrade, she can even take action before the Beast begins her turn. A new type of Contract. The Great Hunt features a new way to play Beast, with multiple paths, goals, and endings. —description from the publisher
