About the game
Prepare yourself for another harrowing adventure deep in the Australian bush with the Drop Bears: Ancient Oonah Expansion. This thrilling addition introduces a terrifying new adversary—Ancient Oonah, a giant prehistoric platypus with razor-sharp teeth, awakened from its ancient slumber by unsuspecting campers. As tension escalates, you and your fellow campers must rely on your wits, teamwork, and strategic thinking to survive against this insurmountable force. Ancient Oonah is a formidable creature, fiercely defending its watery kingdom with poisonous spurs and deep-seated paranoia. The stakes are higher than ever as you navigate the perilous wilderness, evading not only the lurking Drop Bears but also the wrath of Ancient Oonah. But it’s not just a battle for survival—it’s a battle for territory. New Gameplay Dynamics The objective of the campers (players) is to ruin the home of Ancient Oonah by polluting its dens, a tragically human behaviour that has now been woven into the game’s mechanics. Players must decide how best to carry out their destructive mission while avoiding the deadly creatures of the bush. But Ancient Oonah is not defenceless—it must protect its territory from these destructive human invaders, as well as from the Drop Bears that have followed them. This expansion adds a new layer of complexity as Ancient Oonah fights not just for its home, but for its very life. —description from the publisher
