This new nature versus the machines strategy game comes from the designer of PARKS Henry Audubon (see "Parks") and the creator of Bloc by Bloc, T.L. Simons. In this game, animal defenders are on a mission to clear pollution, fight mechs, breach walls, build camps, and reclaim factories on modular forest map. Players can take control of one of the four animal factions of the forest: the Council, the Order, the Sect, or the Coven. Each faction has its own unique abilities that they can use to help defend the Commonwood against an industrial winter and heal the land.
Defenders of the Wild is for one to four players, ages 14 and up, and plays in one to two hours.
