It is time to hunt the Beast of Balka! The Sun Clan and Moon Clan are competing to be the first to slay the Beast and earn the favor of their god, and they must navigate a jungle full of monsters — and enemy hunting parties — to do so. Will you be able to use your superior tactics to claim your quarry, or will the other clan get the best of you? Beast of Balka is a fast-paced abstract strategy game that challenges each player to outwit their opponent, taking into account positioning as well as probability to emerge victorious. However, destroying your enemy is not your goal: simply an obstacle to it. Each player takes turns traversing the forest, honing in on their prey and trying to hinder one another. The more each hunting party encounters danger, the more bloodthirsty they become; but they must face ambushes, misdirection, and — worst of all — stampeding beasts!
