In this two-player card game, each player takes control of an animal army fighting for domination. Suburb animals may not be the largest but they are crafty. City animals are tough, well-connected to humanity and well-trained for battle. Players recruit animals to build an empire, promote leaders, seek allies, buy equipment, seize locations, and gain the favor of humanity. Participants unleash events to further their cause or devastate their enemies. “Nature of the Beast enjoys the feel that lots of folks have come to expect from the ‘collectable’ … [or] ‘trading card game’ market without the disadvantages of that format,” Partner Matt Anticole of Eye-Level Entertainment told TDmonthly. Launch date: November 2005.

Forest animals have little care or need for humanity, and are capable fighters. Farm animals see the world in shades of gray and often visit the darker regions. As players control animal armies fighting for domination, they recruit animals, promote leaders, seek allies, buy equipment, seize locations, and unleash events to further their cause or devastate their enemies. Participants can buy more boxes to customize decks or add more players. Partner Matt Anticole of Eye-Level Entertainment told TDmonthly that “veteran players … are pleased to find that this is a self-contained game with no booster packs to worry about. New players are welcomed in with plenty of material online.” Launch date: November 2005.
