Den of Wolves is an internationally renowned science fiction megagame where 40–60 players work together to guide a beleaguered fleet through space to a new home. However, they are being pursued by a relentless enemy, who may even have agents among them…
For a short summary of the game and some video clips, see this recap from a Den of Wolves game in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JUldCPjlzEA.
While there are base mechanics (like worker placement and resource management) that everyone will be interacting with, each player will receive a unique role in the fleet, which will determine their gameplay and individual goals.
You might be a ship captain, ensuring your ship makes it safely to our final destination. Or you might be a marine or fighter commander, protecting the fleet from enemies without and within. Or you might be responsible for providing food and water to the occupants of the fleet, or representing your ship politically at the fleet council, or guarding dangerous inmates.
You might even be a sleeper agent for the dastardly Wolves, working with your fellow agents to sabotage the fleet and bring it captive to your overlords. There's something for everyone!
Never fear, Dallas Megagames are experts at introducing new people to the awesome experience of megagaming!
