The city of Druzhny holds its breath in anticipation of the celebration – the long-awaited metro will soon open! But behind the grand facade, tension reigns: Service Dogs, loyal guardians of order, scurry through the streets, sniffing out the slightest trace of threat. Their noses won't fail them, they can't fail them! However, in the shadows, among rusty pipes and abandoned warehouses, the Wolf Resistance lurks... They've already committed a daring theft and now know the shocking truth hidden in the master plan: the stations are built, but the tunnels... well, there are no tunnels! A dangerous game begins for the wolves – they must deliver the incriminating evidence and escape the city before the bloodhounds pick up their scent. Immerse yourself in the tense atmosphere of a secret confrontation in the alternate world of Sobakistan! Собакистан: Ищейки ("Sobakistan: Bloodhounds") is an asymmetrical game that invites you to feel like part of a detective thriller, where the success of the entire operation depends on your cunning and premonition. One player must think like a senior bloodhound, relying on logic and instinct to uncover the conspiracy, while the team of wolves operates in the shadows, using hidden signals and bluffs. The unique "one against all" gameplay, the Soviet modernist style, and an endless variety of scenarios at each turn create a unique experience. This is more than just a board game – it's a battle of wits where you will either rise to the top of your career or execute the most daring escape in history! How to play? The goal of the game is to carry out an intense operation where the wolves, led by a contact, must leave incriminating evidence in a secluded location and escape the city through the exit station, working as a team. In turn, the senior tracker must catch the wolves: confiscate incriminating evidence and arrest the violators, taking their tokens! The key element of the game is the route cards, which define three key points on the board: the starting station, where the wolves begin the game; a hiding place for leaving incriminating evidence; and an exit from the city for escape. Only the contact knows all three points, while the wolves only have the starting position at the beginning of the game. Preparation begins with assigning roles: one player becomes the senior tracker, another the contact, and the rest become wolves. The board is assembled from random station tokens, creating a unique metro map each time. The wolves receive boards for stealth movement, and the tracker receives squad figures, a surveillance log, and markers. The game consists of a sequence of four stages, repeated each round, creating a tension between the two sides: Liaison Turn: The Wolf Resistance player places one or two clue cards with associations (e.g., "Dark," "Calm") to direct the wolves toward the objectives indicated on the route map. They can combine cards with "No" to create counter-meanings, making it more difficult for the tracker to decipher. The liaison then draws up to five cards from the deck, preparing for the next round. Wolves' Turn: All wolves simultaneously analyze the liaison's clues and secretly write the numbers of the selected stations on their boards with markers. Movement is only permitted to adjacent stations! Senior Tracker's Turn: The player makes up to two squad movements, but cannot move directly between stations—this is the main tactical challenge of this role! Squads can enter stations to check, but at the end of their turn, they automatically return to their districts. The Bloodhound can use special abilities: cordon off areas and metro lines, conduct searches, and employ other operational measures. Final phase of the round: The Wolves decide whether to leave the incriminating evidence in a secluded location or escape through the exit, guided by hidden objectives on the route map. Hunt cards allow both sides to perform special actions during the round. An i
