Scavengers

Published 2011

From the publishers website: Each year the Hamburger family escapes into the great outdoors for a little rest and relaxation. During their stay eager animals scavenge for food that has been left unattended to take home and make meals of their own. Light enough to delight brand new gamers and yet versatile enough to intrigue the saltiest veterans, this game is a must have! Scavengers is a card-based family game. The game's compact box makes it easy to take camping or over to the neighbors for game night. This game is sure to leave your friends and family hungry for more! Game Play: Each round players compete for food scraps at three different camps to try and fill up their food cards. Competition is both offensive and defensive as players try to claim the food scraps they need whilst blocking others from getting the food scraps they want. Players win food scraps at camps by playing Scavenger cards with varying strengths and special effects that affect game play and alter the victory conditions at each camp. The first player to fill up all of their food cards with food scraps is the winner!
