Wolves is a semi-cooperative board game for 3-6 players where you assume the role of a community leader striving to manage limited resources to help your people survive the winter. Cooperation is key as you'll need to share the resources you've gathered and grown, which will diminish as winter approaches. If any player fails to meet their community's needs, everyone loses the game. However, if all players make it through winter, the player with the highest status will be elected chief of all the communities and receive an additional victory. Status is earned by effectively gifting resources to other players and sharing excess supplies with your own community. Each turn consists of phases that may be played either simultaneously or in status order, which can vary from turn to turn.
