Hunters

A card game with monster-hunting and farming mechanics. Every monster you take down pays in materials, and every material turns into cards. Your deck is your weapon, so keep forging it.

The loop

Hunt. Loot. Open. Build.

Hunters is about getting stronger one hunt at a time. Here's how a run feels.

  1. Hunt

    Pick a location on the map and face a monster with your deck. You draw, you play, then it strikes back.

  2. Loot

    Every monster drops materials: pelts, bones, claws, meat and more. Tougher prey drops better stuff.

  3. Open packs

    Trade your haul at the shop for card packs. Commons, rares, epics, and the occasional unique.

  4. Build

    Shape your deck, pick a class and its signature mechanic, then go after something bigger.

The prey

Meet the monsters

Mountains, lakes and forests are home to some very hungry creatures. A few you'll meet in Hunters:

Dorothon, a winged, fur-covered beast with a rock for a head

Dorothon

MountainTier I

A rock-headed brute and the shop's first supplier. Your first hunt starts here.

Grammagione, a round green creature with horns and a huge open mouth

Grammagione

LakeTier I

All mouth and horns. Kill it fast and its best spoils are yours.

Nanaluki, a penguin in a wooden mask and armor

MountainsTier II

Yes, it's a penguin. A masked, armored one. Don't let the feet fool you.

Pochatra, a feathered monster tearing out of a wooden shell

Feathers, claws and splinters. It's the one to hunt when you need claws.

Kracgrok, a huge round red monster covered in plates
