📖 About This Game

RUSE invites you on an adventure in a fox-themed mid-weight Euro-style strategy game. In Ruse, players take the role of a fox mother trying to raise her pack of kits more efficiently than other players. Over 4 rounds, players go through Destiny, Collection, and Action phases to ensure the growth and accelerate them developing their instincts in your den. The game design uses worker placement, territories exploration, resource management and dice management. The player who accumulates the most victory points wins the game.
