The LOOP: Fur Brigade is an expansion for The LOOP released in 2022 for 1–4 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Théo Rivière and Maxime Rambourg and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game.
Paws in the air! The legendary Fur Brigade is back together again. Play as Catruman the Black, king of the catgicians and Arsène Lupus the were-gentlewolf to go scratch at Dr Foo’s door. And don’t forget the new Artifacts from R&D, with their Voidhole Dimensions and their Charcoal 14 teleporters. Each of these two brand new characters comes with their own fresh playstyle. Catruman's forbidden magical knowledge will let you play with 4 cards in hand instead of 3. How powerful can he grow through building his deck? Arsène Lupus is the master of Charcoal 14, a new resource that allows agents to teleport directly to an Era containing a piece of it. —description from the publisher
The LOOP: Fur Brigade supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for The LOOP: Fur Brigade is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The LOOP: Fur Brigade for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
The LOOP: Fur Brigade has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
