About the game
Countries from around the globe have convened for a world-class hunting competition unlike any other! Will you aim small with squirrels and hares, or will you risk it all on a large deer or bear? Maybe you'll get really lucky and bag the elusive fox! Trade in your furs to acquire dogs to assist in the hunt. Prove yourself as the greatest in the world in The Great American Fox Hunt. Players hunt by using 1 or more of their starting 5 hunter cards and randomly drawing from the animal pile. If the hunter values are greater than or equal to the animal card, then the hunt was successful and the player collects his reward. If he is unsuccessful, the next players(s) may steal the animal, using the previous hunters to complete the hunt. TGAFH is a light, fun set-collection game where hunters win by getting a set of either squirrels, hares, deer, or bears. —description from the designer
