Untamed: Feral Factions is a board game released in 2019 for 2–3 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Jeremy Falger and Milan Lefferts and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Open Drafting.
Untamed: Feral Factions is a fast-paced shuffle-building card battle game. Players each take control of three animal factions that battle together to bring down the opponent's three Strongholds. Each faction has its own unique appearance, Stronghold, and play style. By combining three different factions each game, players will be able to discover new synergies, combos and strategies. The game features a streamlined, accessible ruleset and a double resource system that adds tactical depth. Players can easily build their decks at the start of the game by choosing three animal factions: shuffle them together and you are ready to play. Each turn a player will face interesting choices with regards to how to use their cards: all cards double as resources which are required to play Animals and Items. Previously used and defeated cards enter a player's Support Area where they can be used to fuel powerful card abilities. Untamed: Feral Factions requires no additional purchases beyond the base set for an optimal playing experience, with almost a hundred possible deck combinations out of the box.
Untamed: Feral Factions supports 2–3 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 Untamed: Feral Factions is 20–30 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 Untamed: Feral Factions for ages 10 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.
Untamed: Feral Factions has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
