About the game: Wolves

Wolves is a semi-cooperative game about ensuring your community survives through winter. You'll gather as many resources as you can, but in then end, you'll have to rely on your fellow players for help. If you all make it through the winter and you were the most generous with sharing, you'll be elected chief of all of the communities.

This game, designed and illustrated by Indigenous Americans and the creators of the awarding winning game Coyote & Crow, uses modern board game mechanics to portray traditional Native concepts such as sharing of resources for the benefit of all. For there to be a winner, all players and their communities must make it through to the end of the game together. Otherwise, you all fail together. Can you manage your resources, gain important knowledge, and work together to survive through winter?
